FOR DEEJAYS
Jerry Butler’s music career has al-
ways been a means to an end — the
bakery business — and even with a top
ten hit — “He will Break Your Heart”
— the young star still professes a
stronger interest in pastry baking.
Born December 8, 1939 in Sun-
flower, Miss., he moved to Chicago as
an infant. At seven he joined a church
choir as a soprano and graduated to
a baritone with the Northern Jubilee
Gospel Singers at twelve, remaining
with that group for three years.
Music became subordinate to edu-
cation during the next few years,
after which he joined a group called
the Impressions in 1957. Local jobs
followed and then a discovery by Vi
Muzinski when the group appeared at
a fashion show. She brought them to
Vee-Jay Records where they re-
corded “Precious Love,” a Butler
original. “He Will Break Your Heart”
marks Jerry’s emergence as a single
act.
Bert' Kaempfert
A skilled composer, arranger, con-
ductor and musician, Bert Kaempfert
is now making his mark upon the
American record-buying public with
his recording of “Wonderland By
Night” after many years as a top
name on the German market.
Kaempfert was born in Hamburg
and spent his childhood becoming
proficient on the saxaphone, clarinet,
piano and accordion. He made his
professional debut with Hans Busch’s
orchestra on a radio program in
Danzig. The war interrupted his ca-
reer but after returning home he
formed his own band and spent the
next few years travelling through
Germany creating a demand for his
music. In 1950 he settled permanently
in Hamburg and singled with the
Polydor label. Polydor releases his
records in Europe while Decca has
release right to his work in the U.S.

The Cash Pox
Pick of the Week
“BLUE TANGO” (1:58) [Mills ASCAP— Anderson]
“WILLIE” (1:55) [Jec BMI— Black]
BILL BLACK’S COMBO (Hi 2027)
Black, one of the most consistent instrumental hit-makers on the wax
scene today, comes thru with a hot follow-up to his current biggie, “Don’t
Be Cruel.” This time, it’s the Leroy Anderson classic, “Blue Tango,” that
Black and crew cha cha up-date in their inimitable manner. Coupler’s a
fetching blues shuffler.
“RUBBER BALL” (2:17) [Arch ASCAP— Orlowski, Schroeder]
“EVERYDAY” (2:10) [Peer Int’l BMI— Petty, Hardin]
BOBBY VEE (Liberty 55287)
Vee, who broke into the ‘really big time’ with his new version of “Devil
Or Angel,” should bounce right back into ‘top tensville’ with his latest
for Liberty. And his bouncin’ vehicle is an up beat love charmer appro-
priately tagged “Rubber Ball.” Reverse etching’s a warm revival of the
Buddy Holly chart-maker, “Everyday.” It too, can happen big.
“THE PUPPET SONG” (2:20) [Debmar BMI — Marcucci, DeAngelis]
“A PERFECT LOVE” (2:19) [Debmar ASCAP— Wisner, Marcucci,
DeAngelis]
FRANKIE AVALON (Chancellor 1065)
The teen idol aims at both kiddie and teen markets with this delightful
seasonal novelty that could continue, chart-wise, into the post-Xmas
period. It’s a captivating entry tagged “The Puppet Song,” that Avalon
(and a host of voices) tenderly pipes. More lovely sounds, at a faster
pace, on the “Perfect Love” portion. Strong support by the Peter De-
Angelis group.
“IF I KNEW” (2:47) “THE WORLD IN MY ARMS”
(2:02)
[Frank, Rinimer BMI — Wilson] [Sweco BMI — Sherman, Keller]
NAT KING COLE (Capitol 4481)
Looks like the chanter has two more tunes to add to his long list of chart
credits. Both are ballad beauts that have that expert Cole touch. They’re
the slow paced “If I Knew” (from the musical, “The Unsinkable Molly
Brown”) and subtle Latin beat affair, “The World In My Arms.” Ralph
Carmichael’s crew grabs orchestral credits on the former while Dave
Cavanaugh does likewise on the latter.
“ONE MORE CHANCE” (2:36) “BEFORE I FALL IN LOVE
[Brenda BMI— Otis] AGAIN” (2:28)
Play BMI — Otis, Benton]
CLYDE McPHATTER (Mercury 71740)
Clyde’s newest Mercury pairing has what it takes to make it up the
hit listings side-by-side. One end, “One More Chance,” is a beat-ballad
powerhouse that has the dramatic flavor of his while-back “Without
Love” click. On the other end the songster displays his stand out rhythm
stylings as he zestfully belts out the up beat “Before I Fall In Love
Again.” Top drawer ork-choral support by the Belford Hendricks outfit.
“MISTER LIVINGSTON” (3:54) [Pattern ASCAP— Darian,
DeLory, Van Winkle]
“ROLLER COASTER” (2:53) [Darian, DeLory, Van Winkle]
LARRY VERNE (Era 3034)
Verne’s sick comedy, that met with tremendous success on the wax
scene via his “Mr. Custer,” pops up again on this offering. On this one,
“Mr. Livingston,” Larry plays the part of Stanley (the famed African
explorer). Gimmicks and laughs galore. “Roller Coaster” is a straight
recitation (plus other voices and sounds) that’s also sure to split sides.
“WALK SLOW” (2:40) “YOU HURT ME” (2:59)
[Bejo BMI — John, John] [Bejo BMI — John, John]
LITTLE WILLIE JOHN (King 5428)
Little Willie John, who just added “Sleep” to his hit record collection,
comes thru with two more winners here. One side’s an easy-goin’ ro-
mancer on which he tells his gal to “Walk Slow” (don’t run away from
love). On the other half a hard beat-ballad blueser he tearfully wails
“You Hurt Me.” Potent ork support on both lids.
Illllllliillllll!
THE DAPPERS (Epic 9423)
(B) “MY LOVE IS REAL” (2:18)
[Blackwood BMI — Cromwell]
The unbilled lead is the fine feature of
this tender blueser. Support employs
strings and other songsters with a
solid teen-beat sound.
(B) “BABY YOU KNOW YOU’RE
WRONG” (2:22) [Blackwood
BMI — Cromwell] Spotlight songster
and rest of team do a hearty blues-
rock job on the basic upbeat blues
item. Bright work.
DAVID ROSE ORCH. (MGM 12965)
(B+) “THEME FROM BUTTER-
FIELD 8” (2:56) [Robbins
ASCAP — Kaper, David] The lush
Rose crew does an attractive mood
stint on the wistful pic theme. Hand-
some instrumental showcase for the
number.
(B) “BONANZA” (1:37) [Living-
ston ASCAP — Livingston, Ev-
ans] A rollicking “western” format
for the TV main-title.
SPENCER ROSS (Columbia 41877)
(B+) “THEME FROM ‘MY THREE
SONS’” (2:09) [Don Michael
BMI — DeVol] Catchy ditty from the
Fred MacMurray TV’er receives a
brisk continental-like arrangement
from the sax-led crew which hit awhile
back with “Tracy’s Theme” (from the
TV version of “Philadelphia Story”).
(B) “HEAVEN CAN WAIT (Mis-
ter Jordan)” (2:05) [Alsam
BMI — -Cobert] A lazy, bluesy theme
from last week’s CBS-TV spectacular.
DEANE HAWLEY (Dore 577)
(B+) “RAINBOW” (2:06) [Robbins
ASCAP — Hamilton] Songster
Hawley, who shared in the recent
“Look For A Star” success, revives
the several seasons back hit with nice
light-beat flavoring. Attractive com-
bo-chorus support.,
(B) “HEY THERE” (2:08)
[Frank ASCAP — Adler, Ross]
A shuffle-beat reading of the “Paja-
ma Game” ballad.
THE FOUR PREPS (Capitol 4478)
(B+) “I’VE A’READY STARTED
IN” (1:58) [Frank Rinimer
ASCAP — Willson] The popular teen-
market songsters pleasingly render
one of the pretty ballads from the new
musical, “The Unsinkable Molly
Brown.”
(B) “BALBOA” (2:34) [Manistee
BMI — Larson, Belland] Bright
shuffle-beat doings by the team.
ROSEMARY CLOONEY
(RCA Victor 7819)
(B) “HEY, LOOK ME OVER”
(2:14) [Edwin H. Morris
ASCAP— Leigh, Coleman] Lively and
tuneful march ditty from the soon-
due B’way musical, “Wildcat,” gets
a properly bright session from the vet
lark and Jimmie Haskell ork.
(B) “WHAT TAKES MY
FANCY” (2:08) [Edwin H.
Morris ASCAP — Leigh, Coleman] An-
other sunny from the production is re-
lated with spirit. Two takes for good-
time spins.
KITTY WHITE (Dot 16157)
(B) “WINGS OF A DOVE” (2:15)
[Bee Gee BMI— Ferguson]
Ferlin Husky’s current country click
gets a good pop display from the lark
and the Bill Vaughn ork-chorus set-
ting. Waltzer is catchy.
(B) “WIMOWEH (The Lion
Sleep)” (2:31) [Sun-Vine
BMI — Lyrics & Adapt. White] The
familiar “call” is colorfully handled.
THE LITTLE SISTERS
(Parkway 815)
(B+) “THE TWIST” (2:15) [Jay &
Cee BMI — Ballard] The Little
Sisters are Chipmunk-like voices who
answer Chubby Checker’s big hit on
the same label. In fact, Checker him-
self has a bit here. Might get the
sound around anew.
(B) “THE PONY” (2:28) [Kal-
mann ASCAP — Mann, Appell]
The voices offer a giddy-yap rock nov-
elty.
THE SWE— DANES
(Warner Bros. 5182)
(B+) “HEY, LOOK ME OVER”
(1:48) [E. H. Morris ASCAP
— Coleman, Leigh] The delightful
Swedish vocal-instrumental trio get
the spirit of the sunny marcher from
the upcoming B’way musical, “Wild-
cat.” Engaging sound.
(B) “WHEN YOUR TIME
COMES TO GO” (2:20) [Su-
chan ASCAP — Asmussen, Elvin] A
happy live-till-you-die effort from the
crew.
DINAH SHORE (Capitol 4476)
(B) “I AIN’T DOWN YET” (2:38)
[Frank Rinimer ASCAP —
Willson] Thrush chants along with the
ork-chorus in this sparkling view of
the engaging item from the “Molly
Brown” song-and-dancer. Good for
bright-spot spins.
(B) “I GOTTA LOVE YOU”
(2:13) [Manchester ASCAP—
Freeman, Brown] The performer vo-
cals this sly-beat blueser.
ART MOONEY (MGM 12957)
(B+) “I AIN’T DOWN YET” (2:44)
[Rinimer ASCAP— Willson]
Mooney’s ork-chorus provides an ap-
propriately rousing march-type treat-
ment of the tuneful “Molly Brown”
musical ditty. Fine sunny sound.
(B) “’TIL TOMORROW” (2:16)
[Sunbeam BMI — Harnick,
Bock] The charming waltzer from
“Fiorello!” gets a light-beat produc-
tion.
AL TOUSAN (Seville 110)
(B-f) “BACK HOME IN INDI-
ANA” (2:08) [Shapiro Bern-
stein ASCAP — MacDonald, Hanely]
The sturdy receives a good-sounding
pounding arrangement, with pianist
Tousan and a saxist heading the dis-
play. A product solidly in the teen-
groove.
(B) “NAOMI” (2:09) [Tideland
BMI — Toussaint] Light-
hearted, continental-type name-song
is amiably handled.

of the Week
“FOLLOW ME” (2:40) [Chappell ASCAP— Lerner, Loewe]
“RAMONA” (2:20) [Leo Feist ASCAP— Gilbert, Wayne]
TONY BENNETT (Columbia 41878)
This typically polished ballad stand by Tony Bennett can develop into
the artist’s strongest chart item in the past few months. It’s a splendid,
straght-forward vocal “Follow Me,” a beautiful tune from the forth-
coming Lerner-Loewe “Camelot” score. The lovely oldie, “Ramona,” is
done up in similar vein on the undercut.
“WHAT AM I GONNA DO” [Aldon BMI— Sedaka, Greenfield]
“AM I” [Jaycee BMI—]
JIMMY CLANTON (Ace 607)
What should easily be Clanton’s next big chart showing is his w^axing of
“What Am I Gonna Do.” Deck’s an inviting, slightly up beat romantic
opus that could be on its way in the weeks to come. Under half, “Am I,”
finds Jimmy in a warm, soft beat-ballad pose. Upper end carries all the
weight.
“YOUR OTHER LOVE” (2:41) [Brittany BMI — Pomus, Shuman]
“LOVERS GOTTA CRY” (2:03) [Home Folks BMI — Pomus, Shuman]
THE FLAMINGOS (End 1081)
Artists, currently kicking up a chart fuss with the oldie, “When I Fall
In Love,” dish up a chart-contending newcomer this time out. Tune,
tabbed “Your Other Love,” is a tantalizing cha cha romancer from the
“Save The Last Dance For Me” school. Can step way out. The very pretty
beat-ballad “Lovers Gotta Cry” makes for a powerful companion piece.
THE BLUE FLAMES (Strand 25023)
(B+) “BOWLING U.S.A.” (2:07)
[Wyndham Associates BMI —
Stallman, Jacobson] A rockin’ novelty
about a guy who says he isn’t strong
enough to lift the bowling ball. The
boys’ attack is backed now-and-then
by the sound of bowling ball hitting
its mark. Could get around.
(B) “POSSUM” (2:12) [Wynd-
ham Associates BMI — Kent,
Hood, Reyer] The combo takes a
catchy theme for a fine pound-rock
ride.
HOAGY LANDS (Judi 054)
(B+) “(I’m Gonna) CRY SOME
TEARS” (2:37) [Robert Mel-
lin BMI — Russell, Medley] Fine quick-
beat R&B-styled affair. The pro Lands
vocal is backed by a steady upbeat
choo-choo sound from the musicians-
chorus. Should greatly please the kids.
(B) “LIGHTED WINDOWS”
(2:40) [Robert Mellin BMI —
Russell, Medley] Semi-emotional soft-
beat blues ballad. Good teen work.
ALLEN ORANGE (Minit 615)
(B+) “JUST A LITTLE LOVE”
(1:44) [Minit BMI — Nelville]
An R&B-styled rock-a-string rhythmic
in which Orange does a fine job on the
tuneful opus. Lots of kids will go for
this catchy cut. Imperial distributes
the label.
(B) “FOREVER” (2:27) [Minit
BMI — Orange] The artist
brings a sincere romantic voice to
the pretty affectionate.
TRINI LOPEZ (King 5418)
(B) “THEN YOU KNOW (You’ve
Been In Love)” (2:19) [Lois
BMI — Carrell] Vocal brings an ex-
pressive touch to the tender roman-
tic. Combo-chorus backing plays a
nice soft-beat game. Kids will feel
for the take.
(C+) “DON’T TREAT ME THAT
WAY” (2‘03) [Lois BMI— Lo-
pez, Sheffield] A rockin’ blueser for
the teen-trade.
BILL BAKER (Vim 515)
(B) “THANK HEAVEN” (2:16)
[Lowell BMI — Baker] Per-
former does a reliable beat-ballad job
on the found-love item.
(B) “THE PRICE OF LOVE”
(2:20) [Lowell BMI — Baker]
Good jump sound to this survey by
songster Baker and the zestful com-
bo-chanting chorus.
FERRANTE & TEICHER
(ABC-Paramount 10,165)
(B) “LIDA ROSE” (2:39) [Frank
ASCAP— Willson] The duo-
pianists — currently hit artists with
UA (“Apartment,” “Exodus”) — offer a
sprightly account of the catchy “early
1900’s” romantic from “Music Man.”
Amiable sound.
(C+) “TAKE ME ALONG” (2:22)
[Valyr ASCAP— Merrill] The
show main-title is given a bouncy ar-
rangement.
“RUBY DUBY DU” (2:36) [Robbins ASCAP— Wolcott, Skylar]
“BOB WHITE” (2:43) [Remick ASCAP — Hanighen, Mercer]
JOANIE SOMMERS (Warner Bros. 5183)
The current instrumental click, “Ruby Duby Du” (from the “Key Wit-
ness” flick), is treated to a contagious vocal version (with hip teen
lyrics). Catchy instrumental backdrop painted by the Sir Chauncey
Combo. Flip’s a dandy swing up-dating of the old-timer. Top half’s the
one to watch.
“PLEASE TELL ME” (2:24)
[Jamak BMI — Tyler, Weldon, Myers, Powers]
“BELLS RING” (2:05) [Lode-Mavarick, Sara Lee — Jamak BMI —
Tyler, Weldon, Myers, Powers, Scott]
THE PARADONS (Milestone 2005)
The Paradons can make it two-in-a-row as they follow their initial suc-
cess, “Diamonds And Pearls,” with another potent, teen-appealing outing.
The new side, labeled “Please Tell Me,” is a Latin beat romancer loaded
with hit ingredients. The other end, “Bells Ring,” is a heai’tfelt ballad-
with-a-beat opus that can also come thru.
CLEFTONES (Roulette 4302)
(B+) “SHADOWS OF THE VERY
LAST ROW” (2:40) [Shali-
mar Kahl BMI — Covay, Berry] Vet
rock songsters and combo come-up
with an interesting Latinish about a
couple who can’t get to be alone.
Should impress the kids.
(B) “SHE’S GONE” (2:21)
[Kahl Sheldon BMI— Cox]
Boys turn to a warm wistful and get
the disenchanted point with feeling.
RON THOMPSON/DICK ALLISON
(Dreem 2102 )
(C+) “DREAM WORLD OF LOVE”
(2:35) [Shelter BMI — Allison]
Singer Allison does a light-beat ro-
mantic warble against a Latinish
combo-chanting chorus sound.
(B) “TIKI GUITAR” (2:08)
[Shelter BMI — Thompson]
Thompson and The Broughams musi-
cians drive nicely on the catchy, Lat-
in-styled ditty. Interesting beat.
VERN MACK (Eldo 109)
(B) “POOR BOY” [Eldorado BMI
— McEntire] Mostly over-
dubbed, Mack does a good job on the
intriguing folk-type romancer. Effec-
tive guitar-percussion performance in
the background.
(C+) “SWEET SUMMER KISSES”
[Eldorado BMI — McEntire,
Otis] Busy-beat vocal-combo chore,
with Mack mostly multi-tracked
again. OK drive-beat attraction.
THE FOUR KINGS (Cee-Jay 580)
(B) “I DON’T WANT NOBODY
BUT YOU” (2:44) [Garnet-
Little, Johnson] Lead nicely leads the
way in this light blues jumper. Agree-
able rock stuff.
(C+) “GUESS WHO” (2:40) [Lois
BMI — Hunter] Same unbilled
fella is the feature of the wistful date.
‘SIGNIFYING BLUES” (2:32)
[Arc BMI — McDaniel]
“GUN SLINGER” (1:50)
[Arc BMI — McDaniel]
BO DIDDLEY (Checker 965)
That infectious ‘Bo Diddley’ beat is back again and both ends here mean
big r&b-pop business. One side, “Signifying Blues,” is a humorous con-
versation piece from his “Say Man.” dept. The other half brings back
the original “Bo Diddley” session and dresses it up in western “Gun
Slinger” garb. Two delighters.
SAMMY BENSKIN (Clock 1032)
(B+) “THIRD MAN THEME”
(2:25) [Chappell ASCAP—
Karas] The years-back Anton Karas
hit gets a good-sounding teen combo
outing, with a keyboard heading the
cheerful approach. Could make noise.
Karas has a new version on London.
(B) “ROUND ’N ROUND” (2:45)
[Mecca ASCAP — Benskin]
Another affable rock stint. Tune is not
the old Perry Como click.
SYLVIA LARAMORE (Miller 1142)
(C+) “MY CONSCIENCE” (2:40)
[Miller Song-Kraft BMI —
Miller, Lardina] Thrush and Miller
Sisters warmly handle the plaintive.
Some of the team’s setting statements
are good.
(C+) “I’LL TELL YOU WHY”
(2:35) [Miller Song-Kraft
BMI — Miller, Segars] Thrush and gals
tell this tale in easy upbeat fashion.

“(I WANNA) LOVE MY LIFE AWAY” (1:53) [Sea-Lark BMI— Pitney]
‘‘I LAUGHED SO HARD I CRIED” (2:18) [Arch ASCAP— Schroeder,
Orlowski]
GENE PITNEY (Musicor 1002)
The talented young tunesmith, who has cleffed a number of chart items,
makes his debut as a vocalist — and what a powerful debut it is! Side,
tabbed “(I Wanna) Love My Life Away,” is an exciting double-tracked
rocker that could establish Pitney as an overnight sensation. Flip’s a
touching beat-ballad stint. Great new teen find.
“THE SLIDE (PART 2)” (2:35) [Recordo BMI— Vikki]
“THE SLIDE (PART 1)” (2:40) [Recordo BMI— Vikki]
GOOGIE RENE (Rendezvous 134)
A new dance, “The Slide,” can be taking hold in the weeks to come. Rea-
son is Googie Rene’s slidin’, deliberate beat instrumental (the part 2 side)
performance. Teeners’ll love it. Artist runs thru the instructions on the
vocal (part 1) portion. It’s the instrumental half all the way.

The Cosh Box
Best Bets
TOMMY EDWARDS (MGM 12959)
<B+) “AS YOU DESIRE ME”
(2:28) [Words & Music AS-
CAP— Wruble] Edwards hands-in a
fine ballad reading of the pretty
oldie. Chorus and triplet sound domi-
nates the backing. Can come through.
(B) “SUZIE WONG” (2:30)
[Famous ASCAP — Cahn, Van
Heusen] The oft-cut pic tune gets the
benefit of the performer’s ballad
polish.
ROSIE & THE ORIGINALS
(Highland 5001)
(B+) “ANGEL BABY” (2:45)
[Figure BMI — Ponci] Here’s
one that’s sure to make the teeners
sit up and take notice. It’s an in-
fectious rock-a-ballad (with Rosie in
the lead) romancer from the old r&b
(and currently popular) school. It’s
got the sound the kids’ll go for. Watch
it.
(C+) “GIVE ME LOVE” (3:00)
[Elpe BMI — Ponci] Under
lid’s an up beat rhythm pleader with
a male lead featured.
RUFUS (MR. SOUL) BEACHAM
(Scepter 1214)
(B+) “TAKE IT EASY BABY”
(1:55) [Ludix BMI — Beaeh-
am] comes up with a deck that can
bust loose on the teen scene. It’s an
exciting rocker on which artist and
ork pull out all the stops. Keep close
tabs on it. Kids oughta go wild for
this one.
(B+) “NO MAN IS A KING”
(2:28) [Ludix BMI— Beach-
am] Here Rufus takes the rock-a-
ballad route and hands in another
winning performance. Intriguing
choral-ork support. Can also step out.
Beacham has the goods to break big.
LYNN TAYLOR & THE
PEACHETTES (Clock 1033)
(B+) “THE BELLS OF ST.
MARY’S” (2:30) [Chappell
ASCAP — Furber, Adams] Oldie — now
getting industry attention — is heard
in a sensitive R&B-flavored vocal in
this Clock master-purchase from the
Hawk label. Stacks-up as a solid
challenge to the other diskings on the
opus.
(B) “SWEET LITTLE GIRL”
(2:39) [Duchess BMI — Taylor,
Seabrook, Collins] Hopping blues
sound to this session.
THE BAYSIDERS (Everest 19393)
(B+) “THE BELLS OF ST.
MARY’S” (2:18) [Chappell
ASCAP — Adams, Furber] Songsters
tenderly teen-beat the sturdy, which
is currently coming with big disk play.
Will be competing for the coin.
(B) “COMIN’ THRU THE RYE”
(2:14) [Allendale BMI— Rus-
sell] Brighter sound for the tradi-
tional. Both takes are from the team’s
“Over The Rainbow” LP.
TERRY & THE MELLOS (Amy 812)
(B+) “THE BELLS OF ST.
MARY’S” (2:30) [Chappell
ASCAP — Furber, Adams] The warm
favorite receives a soft, stylized rock-
a-ballad vocal treatment ala The De-
mensions “Over The Rainbow” click.
Teen-ballad backing includes chime
bits. Due for some action.
(B) “LOVE EXPRESS” (2:08)
[Mia ASCAP — Tyle] Team
has a rhythm affair with an appropri-
ate choo-choo get-up.
GORDON MacRAE (Capitol 4483)
(B) “DOLCE FAR NIENTE”
(2:32) [Frank Rinimer
ASCAP — Willson] MacRae and the
Richard Wess ork swing the sweet
item from Meredith Willson’s “Molly
Brown” score. Hippish statement due
for exposure.
(B) “IF EVER I WOULD LEAVE
YOU” (2:36) [Chappell
ASCAP — Loewe, Lerner] A power-
house MacRae ballad vocal on a beau-

non] Colorful Latin-blues stint here.
(B) “LOVE THEME OF BEN-
HUR” (2:50) [Robbins
ASCAP — Rozsa] The ork solos on the
brooding opus. Carlo Savina heads the
ork on both portions.
MARY PASTOR (Roulette 4301)
(B) “I WANT A PLACE OF MY
OWN IN YOUR HEART”
(2:52) [Midway ASCAP — Laney, Mil-
ler, Pastor] Thrush is effectively
multi-tracked in this medium-beat ro-
mantic date. Strings and percussion
sounds form a full-bodied setting.
Should come-up with good exposure.
(B) “CERTAINLY YOU ARE”
(2:18) [Midway ASCAP — •
Laney, LaVere, Pastor] Amiable
rock-a-cha way to this cheerful affec-
tionate. Worth deejay time.
CLINTON BROOKS & THE B’S
(Apache 1828)
(C+) “TOM DULEY ROCK” (2:30)
[Stairway BMI — ] After a
“Tom Dooley”-like narrative intro,
vocalist Brooks and musicians sock
with an OK sound.
(C+) “IF YOU GO NOW” (2:46)
[Stairway BMI — ] Boys sing a
teen-sentimental.
STEVE ROSSI (Columbia 41854)
(B) “COME COMPLETELY TO
ME” (2:30) [Famous ASCAP
— Hampton, Bacharach] Rossi hands-
in a feelingful performance of the af-
fectionate. Lush ork-chorus backing
has a nice Latinish touch.

CHRISTMAS
“RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED “IT’S CHRISTMAS EVERY-
REINDEER” (2:32) WHERE” (3:05)
[St. Nicholas ASCAP — Marks] [Spanka BMI — Anka]
PAUL ANKA (ABC-Paramount 10169)
Anka can have a double-barreled Christmas triumph here. One’s a won-
derful new swingin’ view of the holiday favorite, “Rudolph, The Red-
Nosed Reindeer,” while the other’s an ultra-lovely new item penned by
the talented songster. Sid Feller’s ork-choral crew neatly backs up on
this superb pairing culled from his new Xmas LP.
“MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY NEW YEAR” (2:10)
[Play BMI — Corso, Otis]
“THIS TIME OF THE YEAR” (2:23) [Vanessa ASCAP— Owens, Hollis]
BROOK BENTON (Mercury 71730)
Benton’s holiday greetings, “Merry Christmas, Happy New Year,” is
bound to be warmly received by jocks and wax-buyers alike. It’s an
extremely pretty romantic ballad that Benton ties up into an attention-
getting package. Coupler, “This Time Of The Year,” is a re-issue of last
year’s click that should win many new spins this time around.
“NEW BABY FOR CHRISTMAS” (2:22)
[Starrite BMI — Jones, Blackwell]
“(I WANT A) ROCK AND ROLL GUITAR” (3:05)
[Big Bopper BMI — Richardson]
JOHNNY PRESTON (Mercury 71728)
Preston could have a big teen Xmas item with “New Baby,” a catchy
medium-beat statement that, teen beat-wise, resembles his year-round
successes. Look for the performer to cap-off the year with another hit.
More Yuletide doings on the sing-a-narrative flip.
The Cash Box
Best Bets
THE KINGSTON TRIO
(Capitol 4475)
(B+) “SOMERSET GLOUCESTER-
SHIRE WASSAIL” (1:47)
[Granada BMI — Guard, Schwandt]
Team gives their familiar robust folk
touch to the “classical”-type Xmas
opus. This take — from the songsters’
“The Last Month Of The Year” chart
LP — could prove a holiday success.
(B+) “GOODNIGHT MY BABY”
(1:53) [Highridge BMI— Rey-
nolds] More of a pop flavoring to an-
other seasonal item from the LP. This
sound could also catch-on.
RON HOLDEN (Donna 1331)
(B-f) “WHO SAY THERE AIN’T
NO SANTA CLAUS” (2:32)
[Maravilla BMI — Kuhn] Holden, who
hit big with “Love You So” awhile
back, could get strong Yuletide busi-
ness with this R&B-type novelty.
Holden is backed by a solid busy-beat,
hopping sax sound. Watch it.
DANNY & THE JUNIORS
(Swan 4064)
(B+) “CANDY CANE, SUGARY
PLUM” (2:17) [Conley AS-
CAP — Slay, Crewel] Teen attrac-
tions, who recently succeeded with
“Twistin’, U.S.A.,” have a cheerful
Xmas rewrite of the old round, “Row,
Row Your Boat.” Chipmunk-like gim-
mick is included. Decked out in an af-
fable teen-beat, side could make the
Yuletide grade.
(B) “O HOLY NIGHT” (2:41)
[P.D. — Adam] Boys relate the
holiday mainstay with respect and
feeling.
GONZALES BONAPARTE
(Madison 142)
(B+) “WHY THERE IS CHRIST-
MAS” (2:42) [Sho-Biz Monu-
ment BMI — Connell, Lovdal] An in-
teresting Xmas side in which Bona-
parte narrates the Christmas Story
with warm support from a kiddie
chorus and strings. The youngsters
interject with several lines of various
Yuletide classics. Might prove an im-
portant kiddie issue.
PEGGY LEE (Capitol 4474 )
(B+) “I LIKE A SLEIGHRIDE
(Jingle Bells)” (2:02) [May-
time BMI — -Arr. & Adapt, by May,
Cavanaugh] Thrush softly swings
“Jingle Bells” while larks first offer
now-and-then statements of the title,
and then sing-along with her. Cozy
swinging from the Billy May ork.
Look for hefty holiday spins by the
hip jocks.
(B) “CHRISTMAS CAROUSEL”
(2:19) [Denslow ASCAP —
Lee] Performer chirps her own Yule-
tide number, a graceful waltz tempo
affair.
LOU MONTE (Roulette 4308)
(B) “DOMINICK THE DONKEY
(The Italian Christmas Don-
key)” (2:27) [Queensbury & Romance
BMI — Allen, Saltzberg, Merrell]
Monte’s fans will enjoy his cheerful
Xmas entry. His vocal is supported
by a joyful ork-chorus sound which
includes donkey squeaks.
(B) “CHRISTMAS AT OUR
HOUSE” (2:22) [Queensbury
& Romance BMI — Allen, Saltzberg,
Merrell] The sentimental aspects of
the holiday in this Italian-styled
waltzer.
CRAZY OTTO (Decca 31185)
(B) “MEDLEY: SLEIGH RIDE,
WINTER WONDERLAND,
WHITE CHRISTMAS”— Three stand-
out seasonal tunes receive a fine
honky-tonk sound from the famed
German keyboard artist. Take’s right
in the spirit of the holidays.
(B) “MEDLEY: RUDOLPH THE
RED-NOSED REINDEER, I
SAW MOMMY KISSING SANTA
CLAUS, JINGLE BELLS” Same
treatment for three other Yuletide fa-
vorites.
EDDY GREGORY (Aztec 001)
(B) “UNDERNEATH THE
CHRISTMAS TREE” (2:05)
[Avenue ASCAP — Wilhoit] Cheerful
Xmas get-together by some songsters,
who use a “gift” guitar for accompa-
niment.
(C+) “MERRY CHRISTMAS (Ev-
erybody)” (1:56) [Avenue
ASCAP — Wilhoit] Gregory and com-
bo-chorus present a warm holiday
waltzer.
LITTLE LANCE (Silver Slipper 1006)
(C+) “SANTA’S COMING IN A
WHIRLYBIRD” (1:58)
[Scottsdale BMI — Dees] Santa’s up
with the times in this lively kiddie
chorus item. Mostly moppet appeal.
(C+) “DADDY’S CHRISTMAS
TRAIN” (1:55) [Jandee BMI
— Ashour] Youngster Lance solos in
another kiddie-directed Xmas novelty.
LARRY KINNAMON (Audan 110)
(B) “THE MIRACLE OF
CHRISTMAS” (2:20) [Peyton
ASCAP— Hill, Greenfield] Attractive
pop Xmas tune is rendered with an
appealing “ballad” sound by the song-
ster and pretty ork-chorus. Well-
worth seasonal spins.
(C+) “HO-HO” (2:10) [Peyton
ASCAP — Kinnamon] Cozy hip
swinger on this end.
ROBIN & HIS MERRYMEN
(Mohawk, 130)
(C+) “MR. SANTA, BRING ME A
DOLL” (2:18) [Famous
ASCAP — Cobbs] A brisk, razza-ma-
taz sound to this tale about a fella
who wants Santa to bring him a “real,
live doll.”
(C) “ELLEN” (1:54) Famous
ASCAP — Cobbs] Cheerful
straight romantic.
WEBSTER WEBFOOT/
TEEN ROCKERS (Del-Tone 5015)
(B) “WHO WILL TAKE ME
HOME FOR CHRISTMAS”
(2:08) [Aut-Winston ASCAP — Colon-
na, Hoffman, Motola] Webster Web-
foot, a Donald Duck-sounding charac-
ter played by Jimmy Weldon, offers
a cute tune about a pet-shop duck
who wants to be taken home for
Xmas, is finally purchased. The little-
ones will like the sound.
(B) “RINKY - DINK - BLUES”
(2:00) [Aut ASCAP— Free-
man] The Teen Rockers do a solid job
of combining the “rinky-dink-blues”
with the big-beat.
DONALD DRUMS (Challenge 59099)
(B) “MERRY- CHRISTMAS WIN-
DOW” (1:51) [Jat BMI—
Reed, Bancino, O’Connor] Chipmunk
like voices are the feature of this
amiable seasonal session aimed at the
moppet trade.
(B) “(There’s Something About
A) HOMETOWN BAND”
(2:10) [Duchess BMI — Nagy, Lance,
Canton] The gimmick voices plus a
regular chorus and band convey the
marcher with proper zest.
RAMSEY LEWIS TRIO (Argo 5377)
(B) “WINTER WONDERLAND”
(2:08) [Bregman, Vocco &
Conn ASCAP — Bernard, Smith] The
seasonal sturdy is a brightly swinging
instrumental offering in the hands of
pianist Lewis. And since he hardly
strays from the basic melodic line the
slice could wrangle considerable pop
programming.
(C) “SANTA CLAUS IS COM-
ING TO TOWN” (2:24) [Feist
ASCAP — Coots, Gillespie] A languid,
almost laborious, heavy blues-like
take of the Christmas tune.
EDDIE “LOCKJAW” DAVIS
(B+) “SANTA CLAUS IS COM-
ING TO TOWN” [Feist
ASCAP — Coots, Gillespie] Delight-
fully enjoyable jazz turn on the main-
stay. Davis’ tenor smoothly caresses
the sprightly offering and he has
Shirley Scott’s able organ backing to
rely upon. Should get heavy spins.
(B+) “CHRISTMAS SONG” Again
it’s a pretty Davis tone which
means so much to the enjoyment of
this lovely ballad. Both sides are me-
lodious and have good pop chances.
THE MODERN JAZZ QUARTET
(Atlantic 2085)
(B) “ENGLAND’S CAROL”
(Part 1) (3:04) [MJQ Music
BMI — Lewis] John Lewis’ fascinating-
jazz composition uses “God Rest Ye
Merry Gentlemen” as a take-off point.
The MJQ is featured in front of a
large ork conducted by Gunther Schul-
ler. It’s a melding of jazz and classi-
cal music and its chamber music sound
might be beyond the usual range of
many.
(B) “ENGLAND’S CAROL”
(Part 2) (3:21) [MJQ Music
BMI — Lewis] Continuation of the
above.
(B) “YOUR LINE IS BUSY”
(2:20) [Maravilla BMI — Hol-
den, Johnston] A romantic novelty
with a good-sounding blues way.
(B) “CHRISTMAS MEDLEY”
(2:59) [P.D.] Bonaparte’s Lit-
tle Strings warmly perform familiar
holiday numbers.

ALL ABOUT DISK JOCKEYS
George LaZotte long-distanced with us from WTRY-Troy, N.Y. to discuss his
ideas on Christmas programming. In his capacity as program manager of the
5,000 watt, 24 hour station, George decided to experiment this year by starting
to play Christmas records earlier than the arbitrary Thanksgiving commence-
ment point. He said that since it takes longer to break a hit they would try to
stimulate earlier than usual response to Christmas singles and get the season
rolling early. “Besides,” said George, “who set that Thanksgiving precedent any-
way?” The station kicked off its Christmas programming on Nov. 14, schedul-
ing one or two per four hour show. They’re not playing hymns — just pop singles
such as Bobby Darin’s. As of this writing (16) they have eight or nine things
which qualify for airing, and this includes three or four left over from previous
FLYIN' EDDIE GALE
(WPLO— Atlanta)
LARRY GAR
(WLBG— Laurens, S.C.)
PETER TRIPP
(KYA — San Francisco)
years. George noted that he’s received excellent cooperation from local busi-
nessmen, who have come in early with Christmas ad copy. Even the studio
windows are all decked out with the usual decorations. When we spoke to George
he was enthusiastic over the acceptance since he’s had no listener objection.
Banking on the premise that people call mainly to complain, the station has re-
ceived only one objection to its new policy. Otherwise listeners have sat tight on
voicing their opinions. In an honest appraisal of the schedule, George closed
the conversation by commenting that he doesn’t yet know whether the thing
will be successful — but it’s worth a try; and since ads have come in paralleling
the programming, it looks good. From where we sit we wonder if any other
stations have gone ahead with early Christmas programming?
Not all blind dates turn out bad says Frank Ferrell (of WDAS-Philadelphia).
We think Frank was coerced into making this imposing statement since a blind
date Frank had last April turned out to be with the future Mrs. Ferrell. He
will be wed in March to Miss Janet Gurk, of Main Line tennis fame. . . .
Larry Gar, who rarely gets excited about anything (?), has literally flipped
his wig over a recording of “The Bells of St. Mary’s” by Terry & The Mellows
(on Amy). His listeners concur, so says the vociferous man from WLBG-
Laurens, S.C. . . . John Eustace phoned in from WPDM-Pottsdam, N.Y. to
reveal that his station is relying more and more on Top 50 programming but
is being prohibited from an all-out push on all the pop singles by a lack of the
latest disks. In other words, they need service! WPDM is an affiliate of WNDR-
Syracuse. ... A prime example of disk jockeying’s fringe benefits is Eddie
Gale’s adoption by Delta Airline Stewardesses as the man they would like
most to “come fly with them.” And that’s just what the WPLO-Atlanta deejay
did. Why not? Most guys are in high cotton with a couple of chicks on the
string, but Gale now has a whole list of “flyin’ little darlin’s” (as he refers to
them) to choose from. Gale was officially taken under wing by the Delta
Stewardi at the Atlanta International Airport with ceremonies beyond the
dreams of any red-blooded American male. Arm in arm with his new ad-
mirers, Gale’s parting remark was “Man, like if you’re not flying, you’re not
with it.” . . . And Eddie’s really flying high now!
Jerry and Jimma Strong, WMAL-Washington’s husband and wife airtime
team, are taping a half hour portion of their show to fill an unusual request
from Korea. The Strongs received a package from a Navy Lt. Commander in
Korea containing a half hour blank recording tape with a letter asking them
to fill it with part of their show. Seems the officer and his wife were stationed
in Washington last year and the Jerry & Jimma show became their favorite.
The Commander’s wedding anniversary is coming up and he would like to
surprise his wife with a tape of the show, which they can’t pick up on Korean
radio. The importance of radio personalities in the personal lives of people
never ceases. . . . The three Crowell-Collier stations — KEWB-San Francisco,
KFWB-Los Angeles, KDWB-Minneapolis — unveiled last week a completely
new series of ID jingles. Johnny Mann, Liberty ork & chorus artist, was com-
missioned to create a new chain sound. Working on it for the past six months
he has incorporated every known musical style into the new library of jingles,
including the familiar sounds of Glenn Miller, Perez Prado, Jonah Jones, and
others. Looks like a swinging operation.
VITAL STATISTICS:
The West Coast, here specifically San Francisco, continues to be the recipient
of D.J.’s (Displaced Jockies). Last week A1 “Jazzbo” Collins went to KFSO
from WINS-New York, and Peter Tripp moved to KYA from his post at
WMGM. . . . Crowell-Collier expands its radio empire with the purchase of
WMGM-New York (for a reported sum of $10,950,000) and WGMS-Washington,
D.C. Both deals are subject to FCC approval. Crowell-Collier already owns
KFWB-Los Angeles, KEWB-San Francisco and KDWB-Minneapolis. . . . WBIC-

Top Popular Favorites of I960
NEW YORK — The 1960 Juke Box
Operator poll will soon be in the rec-
ord books as the tallying enters its
final week. The keen interest indi-
cated by operators is evident in the
large total of votes that have come
into the New York office of The Cash
Box each week since the poll began.
The results of the poll, to be pub-
lished in next week’s issue (Dec. 3)
will determine the top money-making
recordings and artists on the juke
boxes in the pop and country fields
during 1960, and will also show which
artists juke box operators consider
most promising.
Voting is limited to juke box oper-
ators and is tallied on the basis of
one vote for each machine an operator
owns. Voting will cover a five week
period. Absolute deadline for ballots
is November 22nd.
To aid the operator in voting, an
alphabetically arranged list of 1960’s
top favorites is shown below. To cast
your vote, simply fill out the special
form which appears below, and mail

NEW YORK — Yaffa Yarkoni, popu-
lar Israeli singing star, was recently
welcomed to this country by Mitch
Miller. Miss Yarkoni is currently on
a cross-country concert tour in behalf
of Israel bonds and is doing concur-
rent promotion on her Columbia al-
bum, “Sabra! Yaffa Yarkoni.”
Victor & Columbia
Cut Richter During Tour
NEW YORK— Both RCA Victor and
Columbia Records are taking full ad-
vantage of much-acclaimed pianist
Sviatoslav Richter’s current tour of
the U.S.
Victor has already released a Rich-
ter LP of the Brahms’ piano concerto,
and label Red Seal A&R head Alan
Kayes announced last week that Rich-
ter had cut Beethoven’s first piano
concerto with Charles Munch and The
Boston Symphony.
It was also announced last week
by Columbia Masterworks director
Schuyler G. Chapin that Richter
would record for the label during his
tour. He will be backed by Eugene
Ormandy & The Philadelphia Orches-
tra. Richter played with Ormandy
and The Philadelphia during the
ork’s visit to Russia in 1958. Although
this will be Richter’s first made-in-
America recording for Columbia, the
diskery previously released a record-
ing of Richter performances of Liszt
and Schubert that originated in a
concert in Bulgaria in 1958.
Richter’s made-in-Russia record-
ings are released here by Artia. The
Monitor label also has a Richter LP
out here.
Vaughn Monroe & Others
Added To MGM Line-Up
NEW YORK — Vet songster Vaughn
Monroe is among three attractions
just added to the MGM Records ros-
ter, according to label head Arnold
Maxin.
Monroe’s debut — “The Song Of The
Skier” and “Learn To Ski” — is being
released for the time being in just
Boston, Hartford, Albany, Minneap-
olis and Chicago.
The other performers are Armando,
a singer who bows with “Transistor”
and “Wonderful Time Of The Year”
and a song duo, Hank & David, who
cut “Lop-sided, Over-loaded.”
AmPar Declares Extra
2% Stock Dividend
NEW YORK — An extra stock divi-
dend of 2 percent on the common
stock in addition to the regular fourth
quarterly cash dividend of 25 cents on
the common and preferred stock were
declared last week by the directors of
ABC-Paramount Theatres.
ABC-Paramount head Leonard Gol-
denson said the extra dividend re-
flected the 44 percent increase in nine-
month earnings to a record of $7,-
552,000 from $5,226 in the ’59 period.
The cash dividends are payable Dec.
15 to holders of record of Nov. 25.
The stock dividend is payable on Dec.
28 to common stockholders of record
of Nov. 25. No extra dividend was dis-
tributed last year.

Capitol Sets Bjoerling
Disk Releases For '61
HOLLYWOOD — Four new albums
featuring the artistry of the late
Swedish tenor, Jussi Bjoerling, will be
released next year by Capitol Rec-
ords, it was announced last week by
Lloyd W. Dunn, Capitol A&R veep.
According to Dunn, Capitol will re-
lease the “last existing complete op-
era recording by Bjoerling,” a 3-disk
album of Puccini’s “Madame Butter-
fly” with Victoria de Los Angeles in
the title role. A single highlight LP
will also be released.
Also scheduled for release on Jan.
3 is the first of three albums collec-
tively tagged “The Beloved Bjoer-
ling,” featuring recordings made by
Bjoerling in the late 30’s and mid
40’s. Volume one contains a reprint of
an article by Harold C. S-honberg,
music critic of the New York Times,
which ran in the Times last Sept. 18.
MGM's Jules Rifkin Marries
NEW YORK — Jules Rifkin, MGM la-
bel’s national radio promotion rep, was
married here last week (16) to Elea-
nor Levin, a member of Dave Garro-
ways’ TV production staff. They were
married in the Boulevard Restaurant
in Rego Park, Queens. Miami Beach is
the site of the couples’ honeymoon.
With Atlantic’s portable recording
equipment at his disposal, Lomax was
able to record in both monaural and
stereo.
Each of the LP’s contains a booklet
describing the music being heard.
In recording more than eighty hours
of material — involving more than a
hundred different individuals and
groups — Lomax ranged over the Blue
Ridge Mountains, the Ozarks and the
foothills of Alabama and Mississippi.
He went into prisons to record con-
victs singing at their labor, and he
went to the Georgia Sea Islands
for his materials.
The packages are: “Sounds Of The
South” — Survey and general intro to
the series; “Blue Ridge Mountain Mu-
sic”—Featuring the Mountain Ram-
blers of Galax, Va.; “Roots Of The
Blues” — Negro country blues, field
holders, and levee camp songs from
Alabama, Mississippi and Arkansas;
“White Spirituals” — Sacred songs and
hymns of white backwoods people of
the South, some of them dating back
to frontier times; “American Folk
Songs For Children” — Including
twenty-one songs that make-up “The
People’s Mother Goose”; “Negro
Church Music”; “The Blues Roll On”
— Supplements “Roots Of The Blues”
volume.
Atlantic said it would conduct a
“heavy” advertising and promotion
campaign of the series. Besides trade
paper advertising, the set is being ad-
vertised in High Fidelity, The New
York Times, Down Beat, The Satur-
day Review, Little Sandy Review,
Journal of American Folklore and
“Sing Out” and other publications.
A special effort is being made to in-
terest libraries, music schools and
universities in the educational and
cultural values of the set.

•THE UNSINKABLE MOLLY BROWN”— Origi-
nal Broadway Cast — Capitol WAO-1509
Meredith Willson’s new musical view of Ameri-
cana is a delectable, delicious vehicle for the ir-
resistible impish cavortings of Tammy Grimes. As
on stage of the hit show Miss Grimes dominates
the disk with her brassy brashness, and she gets
excellent support from Harve Presnell’s operatic
voice. The music is delightful — the overwhelming,
catchy opening march, “I Ain’t Down Yet,” the
rowdy “Belly Up To The Bar Boys,” the touching
simplicity of “My Own Brass Bed,” the cleverly
comical envy of “Beautiful People of Denver” and
many other attractive songs. Should be a hit disk.
“FIRST ANNUAL MESSAGE FROM THE
PRESIDENT OF THE B-I-T-O-A CLUB”—
Woody Woodbury— BITOA B-l
Woodbury, self-ordained president of the “Booze
Is The Only Answer” club who has triumphed re-
soundingly with his Steroddities LP’s cut “live”
from his nightly performances at Ft. Lauderdale’s
Bahama Hotel, presides here over a spontaneous
tete-a-tete with his guests, discussing with them,
to hilarious results, their marital status, sex,
liquor, etc. Package, promoting Woodbury’s
“club,” contains a paperback size handbook de-
tailing the club’s rules of conduct, aims and ideals
and parliamentary procedure. Will be welcomed
heartily.
“MUSIC FROM EXODUS’ AND OTHER GREAT
THEMES” — Mantovani — London LL 3231
The grandiloquent Ernest Gold main theme
from “Exodus” is the spotlight track here and is
followed by “Karen,” a tender, touching opus from
the same flick. To these, other popular pic themes
are added — “A Summer Place,” “The Sundown-
ers,” plus, what could be considered the high
points of the album, such fine melodies as “The
Carousel Waltz,” “Mr. Wonderful” and “Irma La
Douce.” Solid, stable Mantovani fare.
“CAMELOT" — Arranged & Conducted by Hugo
Montenegro — Time S/2022
In the first LP account of Lerner & Loewe’s
melodies for their upcoming “Camelot,” the Mon-
tenegro ork offers lush, but melody-first rendi-
tions of thirteen numbers from the show. The
melodies are elegant and the score should rank
among the team’s best. Good sound is a plus
quality.
“ONE BY ONE”— The Coasters— Atco 33-123
A departure from the usual Coasters’ fare.
This album is designed to show off each mem-
ber’s solo vocal talents, so each of the quartet
gives out with the legit sound on such items as
“But Beautiful,” “Satin Doll,” “Moonglow,” “Don’t
Get Around Much Anymore” and “Autumn
Leaves.” Breakdown includes four by Carl Gard-
ner, three each by Will Jones and Cornel Gunter
and two blsesy things by Billy Guy.
"ARTHUR LYMAN ON BROADWAY”— Hifi
R 818
Eventually every instrumentalist goes “on
Broadway” for an LP but at least Lyman has
spiced his trip there with originality and in-
ventiveness. This LP features but four tracks,
each one devoted to the music from a particular
show. The songs are tops (from “My Fail- Lady,”
“The King and I,” “South Pacific,” “Porgy &
Bess”) the arrangements imaginative, the Lyman
sound-effectively dramatic for wide pop tastes.
An excellent instrumental date.
“A BUNCH OF BONGOS”— Willie Rodriguez and
the International Stars — Grand Award GA 253
SD
Rodriguez, beefed up by such able percussion-
ists as Ray Barreto, Johnny Pacheo, has the ad-
vantage of Grand Award’s outstanding engineer-
ing to showcase his Latin excursions. The vital
urgency of the rhythms and melodies of “Tico,
Tico,” “Tropical Merengue,” “Mambo Loco,” “Cu-
ban Mambo” and “Brazilia” are heard in ex-
citing danceable performances by the Rodriguez
group. Highly saleable merchandise.
34
“BLAZING LATIN BRASS”— Nick Perito and
His Orchestra — Ultra Audio WWS 8502
Perito’s Latinization of classical and pop tunes
and original Latin items is basically for the audio-
philes, though many can be danced to. Somehow-,
the Latin sound is more conducive to stereo soynd
effects and it is played up strong here. The
tracks feature the usual blazing trumpets and
pulsating percussion, woven into solidly effective
orchestrations. Selections include “Malaguena,”
“Miserlou,” “The Continental,” “Anna” and “The
Donkey Serenade.” Commercial release from the
new United Artists affiliate.
“THE AUTHENTIC SOUND OF THE NEW
GLENN MILLER ORCHESTRA— TODAY”— Ray
McKinley— RCA Victor LSP-2270; “THE AU-
THENTIC SOUND OF GLENN MILLER YES-
TERDAY”—RCA Victor SP-33-90
A gimmick package deal by Victor offers two
LP’s, one stereo, one mono, for $5.98. The gim-
mick is coupling the reissue of twelve vintage
Miller tracks (i.e. “American Patrol,” “In the
Mood,” “Moonlight Serenade”) with the new Ray
McKinley-directed Miller ork playing the same
tunes, even the exact arrangements (except for
some stereo updating). Only noticeable difference
between the two is the sound quality. Should make
a good gift item for that rare someone without
original Miller tracks.
“THE SPIRIT MOVES ME”— Jack Scott with the
Chantones — Top Rank RM 348
Scott turns to spirituals and gospel songs for
his latest LP outing and he provides these stand-
ards with the vigorous, heartwarming perform-
ances they demand. The gospel quartet sound is
achieved through use of the Chantones with
Scott. The outlook is basically rhythmic and con-
tagious for such tracks as “Little David Play On
Your Harp,” “Just A Closer Walk With Thee,”
“The Gospel Train” and “Down By the Riverside.”
“SLEIGHRIDE” — The Randy Van Horne Singers
—Everest SDBR 1112
A swinging tribute to the season by the finely
blended voices of the Van Horne choir. This is an
all pop program and, thankfully, the overdone
tunes have been eliminated for the refreshing
likes of “It Happened In Sun Valley,” “What Are
You Doing New Year’s Eve,” “Let It Snow, Let
It Snow,” “Spring Will Be A Little Late This
Year” and 8 others. Merits much attention.
“THE HITS OF MICKEY KATZ AND HIS OR-
CHESTRA”—Capitol T 298
Mickey Katz’s whacky yiddish interpolations
of popular hits has always been a precious com-
modity on the Yiddish disk market. Here, on Cap-
itol’s “Star Line,” are packaged a dozen of the
comic’s most famous satirizations, among them
“Herring Boats,” “Kiss Of Meyer,” “Bagle Call
Rag,” “David Crockett” and “Borscht Riders In
the Sky.” Looms as a big seller in its field.

BROADWAY HIT SONGS”— Verve MG V-2133
Miss Dearie, ideally suited through her voice
as a soubrette, here lends her coquettish musical
personality to a collection of impishly coy and
somewhat naughty songs from the Broadway
stage. Russ Garcia’s arrangements are eloquent
examples of how true collaboration can advance
the mood. The songs are “Confession,” “Always
True To You In My Fashion,” “Life Upon the
Wicked Stage,” “Love Is The Reason” and “To
Keep My Love Alive.” A delightful album.
“PRESENTING THE CROSBY BROS.”— MGM
E3873
The Crosby brothers — minus Gary — are grow-
ing into a strong show biz act. The vocal talents
of the group are presented for the first time on
disk with the boys offering harmonious perform-
ances of “You Must Have Been A Beautiful Baby,"
“Limehouse Blues,” “Singin’ In the Rain” and
“Magic Is The Moonlight.” A new group for fu-
ture disk contention.
The Cash Box — November 26, 1960
Album Review
‘JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE”— Patti
Page — Mercury SR 60233
The thrush’s last LP outing was a collection
of gospel songs, some of which she performed
in the “Elmer Gantry” flick. Here she is con-
cerned with spirituals which have been arranged
to fit into her vocal style— soft and gentle. With
full chorus and soloists in accord with her, Miss
Page offers stirring readings of “Steal Away,”
“Little David,” “Gi-eat Gettin’ Up Mornin’,” “It’s
Me Oh Lord” and “Were You There.”
Illllllllllllllllllililllllllllllll
“PHILLY JOE’S BEAT ’—Philly Joe Jones— At-
lantic 1340
Jones’ beat is the most articulate in modern
jazz drumming. A master of polyrhythmic solos,
he is also most reliable and consistent in laying-
down a strong rhythmic line which can’t fail in
propelling the most lethargic member of his cur-
rent group. Working the rhythm section with
Jones here is Paul Chambers and Walter Davis,
while newcomers cornetist Michael Downs and
tenorman Bill Barron work the horn line. Of
course lots of solo space is given to Jones. Se-
lections include “Salt Peanuts,” “Two Bass Hit.”
“Dear Old Stockholm” and four others.
“AN AMERICAN IN ROME”— Phil Brito— War-
wick W 2017
A sightseeing visit to this Italian city is tied
up in the liner notes with Brito’s performances
of a dozen American pops. The singer translates
such sturdies as “Cherokee,” “Jersey Bounce,”
“Perdito,” “Misty” and “Undecided” into Italian
language vehicles. He has a warm, pleasing voice
and accounts nicely for the bi-lingual etchings
here.
“THE AMAZING PAUL RENARD PLAYS THE
ALL AMERICAN MUSIC OF GEORGE M.
COHAN ON THE WURLITZER PIPE ORGAN”
— Riverside RLP 845
Somehow the endearingly cornball music of
George M. Cohan seems so much at home being-
played on an organ. And Renard’s masterful
technique on the huge Wurlitzer is matched with
an affection for the beloved music, resulting in
an enjoyable LP. Among the selections are “Har-
rigan,” “Forty Five Minutes From Broadway,”
“Mary’s A Grand Old Name,” “Nellie Kelly, I
Love You” and “Give My Regards To Broadway.”
“BE MY GUEST”— Rolf Kuhn— Panorama PLPS
—2008
Kuhn, a young German clarinetist now making
his indelible mark on the American jazz scene,
is surrounded by several outstanding American
jazzmen here for a musical trip to distant lands.
With Kuhn for performances of such items as
“Istanbul,” “South of the Border,” “Atlanta, Ga.,”
and “Chicago,” are Don Lammond (or Ray
Mosca), Jim Hall (or Chuck Wayne) and others,
each adding to the total; but it is the tasteful,
melodic, inventive (in a Buddy De Franco style)
and relaxed work of Kuhn that is up for scru-
tinization. He passes this test with flying colors.
“ONE FOOT IN THE GUTTER”— A Treasury
Of Soul — The Dave Bailey Sextet — Epic LA 16008
Drummer Bailey heads up an ensemble consist-
ing of Junior Cook, Curtis Fuller, Clark Terry,
Horace Parian and Peck Morrison in what is
termed “a treasury of soul,” three extended
tracks played in the down home, return-to-roots
blues school. This is solid blues jazz meat, of the
kind so prominent with many popular groups
today. The “live” takes permit an atmosohere of
relaxation and unhurriedness which shows to
advantage in the final results.
rnoay m
L&
gMijj, «ie ot jfin gland's lead-
ing "trad” bands, plays a
form of disciplined, yet full-
blooded and buoyant jazz that
Is definitely superior to that
of any equivalent band in this
country.
As a matter of fact, there
is no equivalent band in this
country for Mr.
his men have ■
metier that is
“TRAD .JAZZ” Volume 1 — Chris Barber’s Jazz
Band — Laurie 1903
Barber, of “Petite Fleur” fame, heads one of
England’s leading traditional jazz bands. His
group has been recorded here in a mixture of
vintage tunes, pop items and some originals. Each
is handled in the New Orleans style regardless of
their origin, but there can be detected traces of
more recent jazz leanings in the band’s playing.
Clarinetist Monty Sunshine takes the most solo
time and he has a pleasant, melodious tone.
Among the tunes are “Swannee River,” “Golden
Striker,” “I Remember When” and “Creole Song.”
"DANCES OF PORT SAID” — Mohammed El
Bakkar & His Oriental Ensemble — Audio Fidelity
AFSD 5922
The late El Bakkar reigned in the U.S. as the
foremost interpreter of the pulsating, sensuous
music of the Middle East. This fifth album for
AF contains a dozen tracks featuring El Bakkar’s
forceful tenor voice over a chorus of strident
voices and the contagious music spilled out ener-
getically by the instrumentalists. He has a faith-
ful following.
“LET’S GO LATIN” — Herb Zane and his Orches-
tra— Tico SLP 1073
A happy album of cha cha chas for dancing.
Zane uses a pleasing mixture of brass and per-
cussion instruments entwined in imaginative but
uncomplicated arrangements, with the sole pur-
pose of providing easy-to-follow Latin danee-
ables. Stereo is used effectively but not religiously
so as to diverge from the primary purpose of
musicality. The tune program is a mixture of
American pops, classical themes and authentic
Latin songs— “Frenesi,” “Espana Cani,” “The
Speak Up Mambo” and “Sentimental Journey,”
among them.
“ART BLAKEY AND THE JAZZ MESSENGERS
AT THE JAZZ CORNER OF THE WORLD”—
Blue Note 4016
This is the second volume of Blakey perform-
ances cut at Birdland earlier this year. This is
one of the hardest striking groups in jazz, pro-
pelled by Blakey’s relentless rhythmic drive. Lee
Morgan, Hanks Mobley, Bobby Timmons and
Jymie Merritt, all disciples of the funky Blakey
school, complete the picture. Selections include
“Chicken An’ Dumplin’s,” “Hi-Fly” and “Art’s
Revelation.” This is strong stuff.
BACH: Brandenburg Concertos 1-6 — Herman
Scherchen conducting the Vienna State Opera
Orchestra — Westminster 14114, 14115, 14116
Scherchen repeats for Westminster in stereo
his three disk session of the complete Branden-
burg concerti which he did for Omega monaurally.
An acknowledged great interpreter of Bach, the
conductor now has the facilities of stereo for even
fuller appreciation of the works and he takes ad-
vantage of breadth and vividness.
“THESAURUS OF CLASSIC JAZZ”— Columbia
C4L 18
Columbia has scoured its jazz catalog of re-
cordings from the Twenties and has found enough
interesting material in the archives of the Har-
mony, Perfect, Okeh, Domino, Actuelle, Pathe
and Velvet Tone labels for four disks of music
from this “classic jazz” era. Groups represented
include Red Nichols and the Charleston Chasers,
the Redheads, Arkansas Travelers (never before
available) and individuals such as the Dorsey
Brothers, Frankie Trumbauer, Miff Mole, Joe
Venuti, Eddie Lang, Adrian Rollini, Wingy Ma-
none and many others. Of immense historical
interest!
“KLEMPERER CONDUCTS WAGNER”— Otto
Klemperer conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra
— Angel 3610 B
In celebration of the distinguished conductor’s
75th birthday he has recorded for this Angel re-
lease two disks of Wagnerian operatic orchestral
music. The set includes readings of overtures for
“Rienzi,” “The Flying Dutchman,” “Tannhauser,”
“Die Meistersinger,” preludes to “Lohengrin” and
a couple of other pieces, all magnificently per-
formed in the superb Klemperer tradition. A re-
cording milestone for the artist.

BRAHMS: Concerto No. 2 in B-flat Major for
Piano — Sviatoslav Richter, pianist, Erich Leins-
dorf conducting the Chicago Symphony Orchestra
—RCA Victor LSC-2466
Richter, this year’s “hero” of the concert stage
(since emerging from Russia for a U.S. tom-
under the Hurok banner), duplicates his wildly
acclaimed in-person performances of the towering
Brahms second on this Victor disk. He has a
flawless technique, immense depth and under-
standing and a large new following to purchase
this disk.

Content: “Wabash Cannon Ball,” “Cold, Cold Heart,” “Mexicali Rose,” 7 others.

john is Marijohn Wilkin, of course, and the performance is top notch too.
Lively brace of country sets with some of the biggest hits. Commercial Value:
Extra good deck here with lots to offer the c&w lovers. Good price, good
material.

Warren Vincent, Conducting, Design DCF-1033, $2.98
Content: “Love Is Here To Stay,” “I’ve Got Rhythm,” “Strike Up The Band,”
7 others. Cover: Arty type layout with script and brush strokes setting mood.
Performance: Lush arrangements treat the Gershwin score to an outing via
two orks. One plays melody while the other caresses. Nice flavor. Commercial
Value: The Gershwin name ought to attract and the Design “compatible” fea-
ture should broaden the market (plays on either hi-fi or stereo set).
“A CHRISTMAS CAROL” Narrated by Basil Rathbone with Carols by the
Lyn Murray Singers, Harmony HL-9523, $1.98
Content: Dickens’ famed opus is narrated here in conjunction with some cheer-
ful caroling by the Murray group. Cover: Very tasteful and artful reproduction
of pages from the story book. Performance: Rathbone’s theatrical voice was
made for this type narration. The story comes off just fine with an abundance
of atmosphere and Dickens flavor. Commercial Value: Good pickin’s for the rack
shopper at holiday time. Looks like standard material.

others. Cover: Portrait of the singer in a pious mood. Tasteful. Performance:

tola, Nobel NOM-102, $1.98

alities involved in this historic period of American history and the pai'ts they
played. Cover: Color artwork of a battle scene outside the walls of the fort,
tells the story with good display. Performance: Claude Rains manages in his
inimitable nari-ation to put across the feeling of great crisis and personal loss
in this excellent narration. He strives for realism in a professional manner and
achieves it. Score complements narration. Commercial Value: The current
movie will help promote sales, although material itself is capable of standing
on its own. Should score as a top flight spoken word LP with a market that
might attract adults as well.

iifiiiiiiiiiiii
“NOEL NOEL”— Anne Phillips Choir— Stere-O-
Craft 17
Though this album contains the most familiar
Christmas carols, the extremely gifted arrang-
ing pen of Anne Phillips has transformed them
into completely refreshed melodies. Her handling
is thoroughly unorthodox in present disk terms but
of the highest artistic order. They command at-
tention as vital performances. Among the selec-
tions are “Good King Wenceslas,” “Angels We
Have Heard on High,” “Jesus the Christ Is Born”
and “We Three Kings Of Orient Are.”
“CHRISTMAS DAY WITH SAMMY KAYE”—
Sammy Kaye and His Orchestra — Decca DL 74070
The swing and sway sound of Kaye becomes
subdued for this outing. He directs his ork plus
the Kaye Choir and the Kaydets with Ray Mich-
aels as soloist in an enjoyable program of rev-
erent and popular Christmas music. Included are
“Silver Bells,” “It’s Beginning To Look Like
Christmas,” “Christmas Child” and “A Merry
Christmas.”
“THE REGENSBURGER CATHEDRAL BOYS
CHOIR SING CHRISTMAS SONGS”— Decca DL
74062
There is a universal appeal in Christmas music
sung in a foreign language. Here many will be
charmed by the program of hymns, carols and
songs sung in German by this superb boys choir.
Under the direction of Dr. Theobald Schrems, the
choir demonstrates its superior quality in bring-
ing a reverence to the music. Among the selec-
tions are “Oh Tender Child,” “Holy Night,”
“From Heaven Above Ye Angels Come” and nine
others.
“Molly Brown” Recorded
NEW YORK — Immediately following the successful Broadway launching of
Meredith Willson’s new musical, “The Unsinkable Molly Brown,” Capitol
Records herded the entire cast into its New York studios for the cutting of the
original cast album. The above photos were taken during the elaborate re-
cording session.
1. Around star Tammy Grimes are Andy Wiswell, leading man Harve Pres-
nell and Dick Jones. Wiswell and Jones produced the album, which was released
this week. 2. The recording of “I Ain’t Down Yet” by Molly (Miss Grimes) and
her brothers. 3. Capitol’s East Coast promo exec Joe Matthews discusses re-
lease plans with Wiswell. 4. Producers Jones and Wiswell flank Mitchell Gregg,
of the B’way cast. 5. Tammy Grimes in a reflective mood. 6. Cameron Prud-
homme and Edith Meisner. 7. Mony Dalmes and Mitchell Gregg. 8. The Chorus.

Bongo Import Source Set Up
CHICAGO — Anthony (Tony) Galgano
and Reuben Lawrence, co-heads of
Record Distributors of this city, an-
nounced last week the formation of
their new subsidiary corporation in
Mexico City, Mexico, known as Mexi-
cana Musicales.
The new firm will import Latin
American musical instruments; such
as bongo drums, maracas and guitars
into this country, according to Gal-
gano.
“We are happily right in the midst
of a ‘bongo craze’ throughout the
United States,” Galgono said, “and
bongo sales have been just short of
phenomenal. This coupled with our
heavy record album sales assures Rube
and I of one of the greatest sales years
in the history of Record Distributors
Company.
Distributorships for Mexicana Musi-
cales have been opened in Minne-
apolis, Buffalo, Miami and New York
City, as well as in Chicago. Galgano
just returned from a 10 day business
trip to Mexico where he lined up the
necessary suppliers for his import
merchandise.
Tobias' 50th Anny as Cleffer
NEW YORK — Vet cleffer Harry
Tobias will be celebrating his fiftieth
year in the songwriting profession
next year (1911-1961). He has pro-
vided stations with a plug sheet con-
taining his tunes and available record-
ings. He has such evergreens as “Miss
You”, “Sweet And Lovely” and “Sail
Along Silvery Moon.”
NEW YORK — A legal complaint was
issued last week, November 12th, in
the Supreme Court of New York
against Samuel Keenholtz individually
and t/a Raymar Sales Company by
Bernard Lowe Enterprises, Inc., al-
leging that Keenholtz had sold
counterfeit records of the Cameo re-
lease, “Ding-A-Ling”. The Cameo
label is owned by Bernard Lowe Enter-
prises, Inc.
The action purports to be an out-
growth of the seizure of alleged
counterfeit Cameo records by Guy
W. Calissi, Prosecuting Attorney of
Bergen County, New Jersey, allegedly
in the possesion of Bonus Platta Pak
and the claimed subsequent indict-
ments of Robert Arkin, Milton Rich-
man, Brad Atwood and Bonus Platta
Pak by the Grand Jury of Bergen
County, which prosecutions are
claimed to be presently pending.
The suit against Keenholtz was pre-

New Woodbury LP
Plays Up Comic's
"BITOA" Club
NEW YORK — Stereoddities Records
is merchandising its new Woody
Woodbury LP under Woodbury’s fan
club, “Booze Is The Only Answer
Club.” In fact, the LP — which follows
big chart-sellers, is under the Stere-

tagged “The First Annual Message
From The President To The Members

months ago by its “leader and presi-
dent” and invitations were inserted
in the second Woodbury album
“Laughing Room,” inviting the pur-
chaser to join and receive an official
membership suitable for framing at
no cost to the recipient.
The response, according to label
head Fletcher Smith, was “over-
whelming and now BITOA is a corpo-
ration within itself with close to 1,-
000 members and for the record shop
it means a . . . pre-sold initial mar-
ket for all future Woody releases, not
to mention the other releases out of
the Stereoddities and Duo stable.”
The LP also contains a pocketbook
of Woodbury jokes and a BITOA
“Booze-Nooze” paper.

Probe Bribery Reports
In N.Y. Cabaret Licenses
NEW YORK — A scandal involving
purported bribes to police officials in
the issuance of cabaret licenses here
was in the making last week and it
could have important repercussions in
the music trade.
In a telegram sent to Gov. Rocke-
feller last Monday (13), a Citizens
Emergency Committee called for a
state investigation into complaints of
such bribery, including a specific ex-
ample of a Deputy Police Commis-
sioner who allegedly was offered $100
by a theatrical agent to reinstate the
cabaret license of the late comedian,
Richard M. (Lord) Buckley, who the
police say lost his license because he
concealed an arrest in applying for
it.
By week’s end, Gov. Rockefeller re-
quested New York City Mayor Wag-
ner and Police Commissioner Ken-
nedy to send him reports “on matters
contained” in the Citizens Emergency
Committee’s charges.
Earlier in the week, Investigation
Commissioner Louis I. Kaplan told
the press that he intended to check
11,000 cabaret licenses to determine if
any were obtained in an illegal man-
ner. Kaplan also said he would ques-
tion various entertainers. There are
1,100 establishments in the city which
are termed cabarets.
Situations of instances were per-
formers played niteries in New York
without a license came to light when
Frank Sinatra admitted through a
spokesman that he never obtained a
performer’s card here and would not
play New York if he had to get one.
He contends the police investigation
into requests for a cabaret license—
which involves fingerprinting — is de-
meaning to the performer. Sinatra
has been playing the Copacabana in
recent years.
Coasters Sing Solo
NEW YORK — The Coasters, Atco’s
star songsters, get a chance to sound-
off as solos in their new LP, “One By
One.” Each member of the quartet
has from two to four vocals in the
set.
With all but one of the tunes ever-
greens, album producers Jerry Leiber
and Mike Stoller have geared the LP
to both teenage and adult audiences.
The team is composed of Will
Jones, Carl Gardner, Billy Guy and
Cornel Gunter.

UA & Oberline Agree
On Ultra Audio Tag
NEW YORK — Oliver Berliner’s Ober-
line, which operates Tropicana Rec-
ords and Hall Of Fame Music pub-
lishing company, among others, has
entered into an agreement with United
Artists permitting UA to use the
brand name, Ultra Audio, in connec-
tion with UA’s new label.
Oberline’s own Ultra Audio division
has been manufacturing audio prod-
ucts under that name for a long time,
and thus claimed prior usage. In the
agreement, UA acknowledged Ober-
line’s prior use and ownership and
Oberline agreed not to use the name
in connection with records, while UA
agreed to confine its usage to them.
Strand Names Ascher
Ad-Promo Director
NEW YORK — Sidney Pastner, gen-
eral manager of Strand Records, has
announced the appointment of Sid
Ascher as public relations and adver-
tising director for the company. The
naming of Ascher rounds out the key
personnel staff selected by Pastner.
Ascher has had wide experience in
the recording industry including the
formation of the original press and
advertising policy for London Records
when that company was founded. He
produced records for the Felsted label,
and was responsible for national press
buildups of such recording artists as
Vic Damone, Tony Bennett, Lisa Kirk,
Evelyn Knight, and Andy Russell.
Ascher in addition to his publicity ac-
tivities conducts a weekly column for
the Chicago magazine Night Life In
Chicago.
Rank Adds Noble
$1.98 Kiddie Line
NEW YORK — Harold Friedman, con-
sultant to Rank Records of America,
announced last week the addition of a
third line to the Top Rank and Jaro
diskeries titled Noble Records. The
new member of the Rank Records
product is a $1.98 children’s album la-
bel independently produced for the
firm by Lyle Engel.
The first four albums bearing the
Noble banner are “Popeye’s Zoo” with
Jack Mercer (who plays “Popeye” in
the Paramount films) “Grimm’s Fairy
Tales” with Marla Ray, “Alice In
Wonderland” with Mimi Benzell and
“Remember The Alamo” with Claude
Rains narrating and music by Tony
Mottola.
Friedman stated, “. . . I have long
been aware of its significance in the
development of a fully rounded re-
cording firm. For the past several
years, gross sales in this area of the
LP field have been in excess of the in-
dustry average, indicating its dynamic
growth. Lyle Engel’s own experience
in the field as an independent pro-
ducer made him ideal for us. The ex-
cellent covers of the Noble line add
immeasurably to the sales value. The
merchandising techniques that we
have prepared with Dewey Bergman,
Jr., director of album sales for Rank
Records of America, should make this
one of the most profitable lines our
distributors have ever handled.”

Crowell-Collier BuysWMGM
For Near $1 1 Million
NEW YORK— Crowell-Collier Broad-
casting Corporation, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of The Crowell-Collier Pub-
lishing Company, last week signed a
contract to purchase radio station
WMGM, New York, from Loew’s
Theaters Broadcasting Corporation for
$10,950,000, as was previously re-
ported. The selling company is a sub-
sidiary of Loew’s Theaters Inc.
The purchase is subject to the ap-
proval of the Federal Communica-
tions Commission.
Signing the contract were Robert
M. Purcell, president of Crowell-
Collier Broadcasting Corporation,
Lawrence Tisch, chairman of the
board of Loew’s Theaters Inc., and
Ax-thur Tolchin, vice president and
general manager of WMGM.
One of the most powerful stations
in the New York Metropolitan area,
the 38-year-old WMGM transmits at
50,000 watts and operates on a fre-
quency of 1050 kilocycles. The station
maintains studios at 400 Park Ave-
nue, New York.
Crowell-Collier already owns three
radio stations — KFWB Los Angeles,
KEWB San Francisco-Oakland and
KDWB Minneapolis-St. Paul. The
company has also entered into a con-
tract for the purchase of WGMS
(AM and FM) serving the Washing-
ton, D.C. area. Besides Federal Com-
munications Commission approval, the
purchase of the Washington station
is subject to the settlement of certain
legal questions.
Station WMGM will be operated
under the supervision of Purcell. A
veteran of 30 years in the broadcast-
ing industry, he has been with Crow-
ell-Collier since 1956 when the com-
pany entered the radio field with the
purchase of KFWB in Los Angeles.
The Crowell-Collier Publishing
Company in July purchased a major-
ity interest in The Macmillan Com-
pany, one of the nation’s oldest and
largest book publishing firms. A
merger proposal has been approved by
the boards of the two firms and will
be submitted for approval to their
respective stockholders in December.

Dealers: Stock-Up On All
Disks in Dec., Nathan Says
NEW YORK— During the holiday
selling season, dealers should main-
tain their year-round inventory as
well as Christmas, merchandise, ac-
cording to King Records prexy Syd
Nathan.
In a recent dealer mailing, Nathan
said that “for some reason, every Dec.
the dealers are only interested in
Christmas merchandise and the cur-
rent selling singles. This always cre-
ates a vacuum right after Christmas
and from our own experience and sur-
veys . . . we feel this practice is
wrong.”
Citing a survey of 250 “key ac-
counts and larger stores,” 89% re-
ported Dec. as their biggest volume
month, Nathan said that “it would
seem that if your greatest volume
comes during Dec. then you would
need your greatest inventory and
stocks during that time.”
By not stocking in depth much
other than Xmas merchandise, “this
means that in Dec. a dealer’s inven-
tory of regular catalog sellers is de-
pleted dangerously low and “by the
time he re-evaluates his stock, deter-
mines his needs, places his orders and
gets the merchandise on his shelves,
time has passed and sales are lost,”
according to Nathan.
Nathan calls for a program of
“Don’t be afraid to buy during De-
cember” just “good common sense.”
“We have proven that summer busi-
ness can be good. . . . Dec. business
can also be good on other than sea-
sonal Christmas mei-chandise.”

The Cash Box — November 26, 1960
During a recent visit to Munich, Berlin and Hamburg it was a pleasure, to
meet many leading personalities of the German record and music publishing
scene and to find that both are sharing the general post-war boom of pros-
perity. The price of disks in Germany is much the same as England with the
biggest sales going to pop singles and EP’s which are particularly strong in
the classical field. The LP market, on the other hand, is slow — the price being
generally too high. LP’s by one particular artist appear unprofitable and manu-
facturers therefore tend to issue disks of varied content featuring several
artists. Apparently the possible loss in record sales and royalties resultant
from the upsurge in the popularity of tape recorders and the taping programs
is a matter of concern to record manufacturers. A special committee made up
of representatives from major record companies and GEMAR is being formu-
lated to investigate and, if possible, remedy the situation.
The leading record stores in the cities visited were modern, spacious and well
equipped. It is interesting to note that unlike England the sleeves displayed
in browseries actually contained the records. The dealers’ main problem is
shortage of staff although wages are relatively high. A notable difference be-
tween our two countries is that whereas in England the industry is operated
primarily from one center — London — in Germany leading manufacturers and
publishers are decentralized with headquarters in towns as far apart as
Munich, Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt and Gutersloh. Nowhere can be
found the equivalent of New York or London’s ‘Tin Pan Alley.’
During a visit to D.G.G. in Hamburg I met top recording star Lolita whose
English version of her No. 1 German hit “Sailor” (Kapp) is currently climbing
The Cash Box Top 100. She has already waxed another title in English as a fol-
low up. Another German artist with a new English disk for the U.S. market is
Deutsche Philips star Heidi Bruhl with “Ring Of Gold” released in the States
on Epic (the original German version has sold over 670,000). London manager
Paul Cave is bringing Heidi to England in the New Year. Her first appearance
will be in David Nixon’s “Showtime” on BBC TV on January 8. Encouraged by
Lolita’s stateside hit, it is hoped that more and more top flight continental stars
will seek to enhance their reputations in the international field by re-recording
their original hits for the world market. American and British stars now re-
cording in German include Connie Francis whose latest single release is “Robot
Man” in English backed with a German version of “Everybody’s Somebody’s
Fool (Die Liebe 1st Ein Seltsanes Spiel), and Britain’s Anthony Newley has
a German version of his English hit “If She Should Come To You” backed with
“Charmaine.” Top teenage star Cliff Richard may be waxing for the German
market “Nine Times Out Of Ten” and “Fall In Love With You.” In Hamburg
I attended the Bravo Musik-Box star concert and the 6,000 fans present re-
flected the popularity and drawing power of recording stars Max Greger
(Polydor), Lolita (Polydor), Laurie London (Eleetrola), Will Brandes (Elec-
trola), Jan and Kjeld (Ariola), Maureen Rene (Polydor), Ted Herold (Polydor),
Ivo Robic (Polydor), Detlef Engel (Teldec), The Honey Twins (Polydor), Gus
Backus (Polydor) and Max Kutta (Polydor).
In Berlin, accompanied by American publisher Paul Siegel of Paul Siegel
Music currently riding high with “Itsy Bitsy” and “Four Little Heels,” I visited
top teenage star Conny, whose latest waxing for Eleetrola “Midi Midinette” is
now on the German charts. Conny told me she is to record the flip side “Wer
Wird Der Erste Sein” in English. Also visted the magnifieient lakeside villa of
composer Heino Gaze. Responsible for many film scores Gaze also wrote the
current German chart entry “Kalcutta.” Also met ace composer and A & R
Manager Werner Mueller whose latest LP “Top Hits in Colour” is released in
Germany on Decca and in America on London. Mueller has just completed his
first single aimed at the international market “Tango Barcelono” for release
in Germany and England on Decca and on RCA in the States. Another well
known conductor I was fortunate enough to meet was Bert Kaempfort, whose
Decca recording of “Wonderland By Night” is a stateside hit.
Back in England, Fred Jackson of Planetary Kahl and Tin Pan Alley Music
has the latest release by The Shadows “Stranger” on Columbia. Published by
Tin Pan Alley the disk coupled with “Man of Mystery,” now in the English
charts, has sold over 80,000 in its first week. The same company handle the
follow up to Edith Piaf’s “Milord” “C’est Un Homme Terrible” retitled “Blue
Eyed Boy” with English lyrics by Bunny Lewis (who also penned the English
lyrics for “Milord”). English covers by A1 Saxon on Fontana and Georgia
Brown on Decca. Planetary Kahl publish the current hit from The Cash Box
Top 100 “You Talk Too Much” by Joe Jones on Columbia, Frankie Ford on
London and an English version by Johnny Carson on Fontana.
Following the first performance by Gracie Fields of her latest Columbia re-
cording “In Jerusalem” (a French melody with American lyrics) on her BBC
TV show, publisher Bert Corri of Francis Day & Hunter reports enormous reac-
tion.
The Decca Record Company hosted a party recently for Henryk Szeryng, the
world famous Polish born violinist now a Mexican citizen. Szeryng made his
London debut last year. Still in the classical field Decca’s all-star record of
“Die Fledermaus” has received excellent reviews and sales.
Decca’s top rock ‘n’ roll star Tommy Steele received enthusiastic notices for
his performance as Tony Lumpkin in the Old Vic production of “She Stoops To
Conquer.” Alma Cogam currently holidaying in New York, appears in ATV’s
“Saturday Spectacular” on November 26th. Co-starring is Parlophone record-
ing star Adam Faith. Danish stars Nina & Frederik and The Malcom Mitchell
Quintet are among Alan Melville’s guests in the BBC TV programme “Parade”
on November 23. Continuing his big star policy at The Pigalle A1 Burnett pre-
sents American comedy star Jack Carter for a four-week season. Also on the
bill American TV singers The Barry Sisters.
ABC TV have engaged a galaxy of stars to appear in their special Christmas
Day program, “Alice Through The Looking Box” — a modern version of Lewis
Carroll’s Alice In Wonderland where Alice played by Jeannie Carson discovers
a world of wonder inside her television set. Other characters are to be played
by famous names including disk stars Harry Seacombe, Adam Faith, Joe
Henderson, Spike Milligan and d.j. Pete Murray.
ABC TV cameras will visit factories throughout the country for their new
series “Sing Along With Joe” featuring Pye recording artiste Joe Henderson.
Commencing November 20 the program will include songs old and new and a
parade of pops sung by Valerie Masters, Don Rennie and The Kentones vocal
group.
Following the publication by Penguin Books of D. H. Lawrence’s contro-
versial novel “Lady Chatterley’s Lover” Caedman Records release an LP re-
cording of selected readings from the book. Planned and completed some
months ago the readings by Pamela Brown are mainly concerned with the
character and thoughts of Lady Chatter ley. Available on November 30 retailing
at 39/9d.
Coinciding with the screening of the first “Ken Dodd Show,” in a new BBC
TV series, Decca has released the singer/comedian’s second disk “Dream That
I Love You.”

It just doesn’t take long for a new Freddy record to get off the ground here.
His newest release “Weit 1st Der Weg” has only been out for 3 weeks as of
this writing and has already moved over the 200,000 mark. As far as radio
plays are concerned, he is in 2nd position in the Radio Luxemburg hit parade,
and in Stuttgart this week, his song took 50.8 percent of all the requests or
2,692 letters. Freddy hasn’t had a single here which has gone under a half a
million and he is also a top film attraction. He’s young, handsome and talented,
and he still has yet to get a stateside hit. Watch out America, this boy has
to break through sometime, and when he does, watch him climb to the top. By
the way, Freddy speaks excellent English with an American accent.
Peter Kraus has a new TV show going for him December 10. The show is
called simply “Your Peter Kraus.”
The big ball given annually by the press was recently held and American
Bill Ramsey was the feature attraction. Big Bill who sings with a great drive
has been living here since he left the U. S. Army and his job as DJ on AFN.
Now, he’s one of Germany’s top attractions and record stars. He also does a
weekly DJ stint on Radio Luxemburg. Here’s another attraction with great
possibilities for the England-America market.
Connie Francis, who has sold over 250,000 of her first German recording
which was “Everybody’s Somebody’s Fool’ or “Die Liebe 1st Ein Seltsames
Spiel,” has already recorded her newest American smash, “Many Tears Ago”
in German. Tobby Lueth handled the lyrics for this country, and advance re-
ports predict another big one for Connie in this market.
Lolita, who is hitting the Top 100 with her recording of “Sailor,” is back in
the top ten here with her version of Anita Bryant’s “My Little Corner of the
World” in German.
Polydor took top honors in the radio Luxemburg hit pai'ade last week. They
took 8 of the top 12 positions.
On November 26, German TV will broadcast a big music show from Berlin
called “We Make Music.” Featured in the show are Caterina Valente, Silvio
Francesco, Christa Williams, Vico Torriani, Klaus Wunderlich, Edmundo Ros
and his Orchestra and Hubert Deuringer. All record under the Telefunken-Decca
banner.
Mario Del Monaco has just finished a concert tour of Germany with great suc-
cess. Standing room only was reported in every city. He has also just finished
his first German language recording of “Bella Linda” b/w “Verro” for the
Decca label here. French star Bob Azzam also makes his first appearance on
Decca with the great old favorite, “Till,” sung in German. He hit the world
charts recently with his “Mustafa.” There are very few new Christmas songs
being cut for the new season here. All of the record firms are planning to rely
on their standard catalog and the new pops being rushed out for the season.
Warner Bros. Bobby Weiss just completed a jet tour of Europe. Bob covered
Hamburg, Germany, Helsinki, Finland, Stockholm, Sweden, Oslo Norway, Co-
penhagen Denmark, London and Paris in the record time of 5 days. Although it
sounds like a repeat of the Jules Verne/“Around The World In 80 Days” story,
Bob reports that the trip was highly successful.
The Bavarian jodel king Franzl Lang has just opened his own “Wine House”
in Munich, the Bavarian capitol. Finest quality beer, wine and jodeling are the
attractions.
Here’s a few more statistics for interested parties. Germany has 850 dance
schools with over 300,000 pupils. A poll was taken recently and showed that
30% of the students listed, the tango as their favorite dance, 30% listed the
waltz and the other 40% listed the other dance forms. 27% of all the pupils
were against rock and roll. 90,000 members of Teenage clubs took a poll re-
cently to find the favorite record and film stars of the German teenager group.
Here are the winners. The top 3 gals were Sabine Sinjen, — actress, Conny —
recording star-actress, and Heidi Bruhl — recording star-actress. The three men
were Peter Kraus— records-actor, Rex Gildo — records-actor, and Klaus Wilke —
actor, in that order.
Germany is now full of American film stars making films here. Kirk Douglas
is iiere for “Town Without Pity,” Esther Williams and Cliff Robertson are mak-
ing “The Big Show,” a circus film featuring the famous German circus “Circus
Krone” and Tina Louise, Howard Keel and Earl Hollyman are here for work on
the film “Armoured Command.” The reasons for filming here, besides the fine
sets in Europe are mainly reduced production costs. Just as an example, it
costs 4 dollars an hour for a musician on a session here. The powerful radio
network of the U.S. Armed Forces, AFN has a new show called “Songs, Sinatra
and Strings.” As the name implies, Frank Sinatra is featured. The show is
broadcast weekly out of Orleans, France with Robin Sunde handling the DJ
chores.
Publisher August Sieth has picked up “Midnight Lace” for Germany. There
are 5 versions on the market here at present.

A Week of “Premieres” — at the Olympia Jean-Claude Damal (Vogue)

pointed no one with his repertoire of hits such as “A1 Chiar Di Luna,” “C’est
Ecrit Dans Le Ciel,” etc. Petula Clarke (Vogue), the young English singer,
presented almost all French songs. Big success. At the Alhambra a real variety
show with Henri Salvador (Barclay) topping the bill, and Henri had them

Vogue’s president, L. Cabat told us in a long conversation about the firm’s
new series comprising both classics and jazz that is selling at 14,95 New Francs
per LP. Cabat intends to pursue this price policy further because both dealers
and buying public are satisfied. “Let the others sell their de luxe albums and
have their clubs,” he says. “I want to sell ‘pocket’ records, that is, the best in
music well recorded and attractively packaged that the French man in the
street can afford.”

Paul Anka has three hits at the moment in the Belgian-Flemish Top Ten
List. Number 6 is My Home Town, number 7 Hello Young Lovers and number
8 Summer’s Gone. In the Walloon Hit Parade, Summer’s Gone keeps the
number 8 position; Hello Young Lovers is number 14 and My Home Town
number 26. It’s sure a big time now in Belgium for Anka, his record-company
ABC-Paramount and music publishers, Spanka Music, Brussels.
The five best selling single records of Fonior S.A., Brussels, in October were:
1. Petit Bikini (Dalida) ; 2. Les Enfants Du Piree (.Melina Mercouri) ; 3. Ramona
(The Blue Diamonds) ; 4. Tu T’laisses Aller (Charles Aznavour) ; 5. Les Enfants
Du Piree (Dalida). The best selling EP was “Les enfants Du Piree” (Melina
Mercouri) and the best selling LP: “Les enfants Du Piree” (Dalida).
The Blue Diamonds, Riem (17) and Rudy (19) de Wolff, were practically
unknown a year ago, but are now top stars in Dutch show business and on
records, flew to Singapore from Amsterdam airport for a week’s tour over
there. On November 27 the boys will visit Denmark for a TV-appearance, and
on December 3 The Blue Diamonds will sing in Hamburg on a TV-show. Their
“Ramona” single (c/w another oldie, “All Of Me”) looks like a hit in Ger-
many and England, too. In the States, the deck has been issued on the London
label (see review in The Cash Box “Pick of the Week,” November 5). 65,000
copies of “Ramona” have been sold within eight weeks. The record was orig-
inally released in Holland on the Decca label (L. C. Phonogram).
Popular Dutch singer Corry Brokken has been invited for a big TV show
in Germany. More than 100,000 copies of her Dutch-sung version of “Milord”
have been sold. Corry’s “Milord,” in German, is doing very well in Germany
right now on Philips (L. C. Phonogram).
A group of French TV personnel will be visiting Amsterdam to make a
TV film of the Amsterdamse Politie Kapel (Amsterdam Police Band). This
very popular band, which plays regularly for Dutch radio, has recorded for
L. C. Phonogram many marches and hits-in-marchtime on the Decca-label.
Messrs. Hans van Zeeland and Henk van de Haar of C. N. Rood L. C.,
Rijswijk, strengthened their contacts in Belgium while visiting the Bob Azzam
show in Belgium.
The Skyrockets, the exciting Dutch rock combo under contract with C. N.
Rood L. C. and whose records are issued in the U.S. also, will make a big
tour through Denmark, including radio- and TV-appearances.
Recently, the Dutch AVRO television presented the Perry Como show, which
featured Bobby Rydell, the talented and youthful songster in his great Volare
act. Robert Oeges, Bovema’s Columbia label manager, told The Cash Box that
the appearance of Rydell on Dutch TV stimulates the sales of Bobby’s records
in Holland.
Columbia’s A&R producer and conductor Norrie Paramor will fly to Holland
within short, to take up the leadership of the famous Dutch Cosmopolitan
Orchestra, which will serve as the musical background of the One Woman
Show of Judy Garland on December 10 in the Tuschinsky Theatre in Amster-
dam.
Bovema’s Capitol has just finished all preparations for the set-up of a na-
tional quiz around the motion-picture, “Bells Are Ringing,” in close cooperation
with MGM-Holland and the Dutch Telephone Answering Service. A two-years’
subscription on this service and a free phone call anywhere in the world are
among the prizes for the winners.
CNR promo man Hank Kervezee joined the New Orleans Syncopators when
they presented the mayor of Zaltbommel, a picturesque and very old Dutch
town, with their CNR recording of an old song that originated there. The title:
That Very Old Town.
One of Holland’s best loved street organs is De Turk. An EP record has
been released this month on which the old street organ is heard playing four
famous waltzes by Viennese waltz king Johann Strauss: Blue Danube, Vienna
Blood, Artists’ Life and Roses Of The South. It’s on Fontana (L.C.)
Other recent Fontana releases include singles by the accordion duo Sjeng
Haeron, Die Zwei Caballeros, Liana and the Canaries (Oh, Be My Baby and I
Can Forgive, Liana’s first recordings in English) and Johnny Mathis (My
Love For You). Poppy and her Pop-cats are expected to be the latest teenager
sensation. Their Fon tana-debut record has I Wonder If You Know c/w Please
Help Me, I’m Falling. The song last mentioned is growing steadily in popu-
larity in the low countries. A to be watched pop record.
MGM star Vera Lynn doing very well in Holland with her Accordion. Fur-
ther news of Bovema’s MGM staff is that Ben Hur still attracts packed houses
and that the same development is expected from The Subterraneans, which
will be highly promoted by the Dutch press. MGM maintains its big name in
both the motion-picture and the recording field. A big chance for reaching the
hit parade has Bing and Satchmo recording of Muskrat Ramble. Also the
runner-up this week is Connie Francis’ Senza Mamma, says Bovema’s Frank
Visser.
An unexpected success was the rendering of the Addy Kleyngeld song Will
You Stay Forever With Me by the Harmonia Sisters on the CNR label. Fast-
selling EP’s of CNR are the songs in the Groningen dialect by Martina and
four modern religious songs by the Fathers of Stein, four young Catholic
priests. Elisabethan Serenade, sung in Dutch by the popular Selvera’s, and one
of the few vocal versions on the market, is already becoming a classic.
Special surprise for people who love to dance — and there are few people who
don’t — is the “Decca For Dancing” LP series. Four 10” LP’s containing real
dance music: quicksteps, waltzes, mambo’s, cha cha’s etc., by Britain’s best
known orchestras in this field. Record buyers will be eager to get these rec-
ords, with the delightful dance music by Cyril Stapleton, Ted Heath and Ed-
mundo Ros, to name just a few. (L. C. Phonogram).
The stereo records of His Master’s Voice’s Edison-Award-winner, Bizet’s
opera “Carmen,” directed by Sir Thomas Beecham was a big gasser during a
performance in the Rotterdam Exchange Building a few weeks ago. Expert in
the opera field, Leo Riemens, provided an enthusiastic audience with thorough
explanation.
Bovema’s Columbia label is riding high in the charts with Acker Bilk’s
Buena Sera, which is the very popular today’s version of Louis Prima’s earlier
success. The number is also very popular in England, says Robert Oeges, Bo-
vema’s Columbia label manager.
Mercury songstress Damita Jo’s I’ll Save The Last Dance For You is a sure
bet for the hit parade in Holland. A European premiere is Bovema’s Columbia
release of Chubby Checker’s Hucklebuck, of which the present sales figures
are “quite satisfactory.”
Pick of the L. C. Phonogram releases on the London label: I shot Mr. Lee/
Untrue love by The Bobbettes; Candy Sweet/Delia Gone by Pat Boone; Alvin
For President by The Chipmunks; Back to school/Don’t Go My Love, Don’t
Go by Ritchie Adams; and Save The Last Dance For Me/Nobody But Me by
The Drifters.

WHAT
PHONOGRAM
MEANS TO
HOLLAND’S
RECORD
INDUSTRY
STREAMLINED
SERVICE
In Holland’s rapidly growing disk market, Phonogram’s sales
- of such top labels as Decca, Philips, London, Fontana -
exceed the combined turnover of its three nearest competitors.
What made Phonogram get so far ahead of every other
record company? Sound salesmanship? Sure! Separate
sales forces for each one of its labels? That, too. But
there’s more. Phonogram has the know-how and the equip-
ment to get records, with accompanying invoice, on their
way to dealers less than 20 minutes after an order comes
in. Such streamlined service means bigger and faster sales,
especially during the peak period around Christmas when
as many as 1200 orders are processed day by day.
These facts are worth considering if the matter of your
representation in Holland should come up.

Live television shows originating from our four major TV stations (two in
Sydney and two in Melbourne) have been brought to a halt over a dispute with
the Musician’s Union. The Union is seeking a fee (a percentage of the original
payment) for the replaying of live shows that are video-taped or filmed for
later screenings. At the time of writing, there is no sign of a settlement to the
dispute which has already put two leading national TV shows off the air and
has also caused the cancellation of several important live shows in both Mel-
bourne and Sydney. The trouble is between commercial television and the
Musician’s Union, the Government-operated outlets are not affected.
Castle Music’s Joe Halford has returned to Sydney after a hectic promotion
visit to Melbourne. Joe anticipates big things with the Rolf Harris song, “Six
White Boomers.”
The first of the locally recorded disks of the European smash, “Milord,” has
been rush-released by W & C Records, it features popular TV singing star
Gaynor Bunning, with the new English lyric by Bunny Lewis. “Milord” is pub-
lished in this country by Belinda Music, Belinda’s Tony Brady believes the
song will be an important hit throughout Australia and New Zealand. Tony is
busy promoting the Gaynor Bunning disk of the song.
RCA Records is very quick off the mark in Australia in releasing its latest
hits from the United States. They had issued Jim Reeves’ “Am I Losing You”
almost at the same time as it appeared in America. It is expected that they
will make an immediate of Elvis Presley’s “Are You Lonesome Tonight.”
RCA could easily scoop the pool during the peak Christmas buying spree
with its just-issued album of Mario Lanza in “The Desert Song.” Lanza has
been a top album artist in this country for many years, his “Student Prince”
album ranks as one of the all time best-selling LPs ever to be released in
Australia.
Nice to see that EMI has issued the Gene McDaniels single “Green Door”
c/w “The Facts Of Life.” The release is on the London label. McDaniels
created a very favorable impression upon all those who caught his act on the
recently completed Lee Gordon Australian Jazz Festival.
The vast EMI organization is rapidly warming up its big Christmas release
campaign. They have just issued a whole flock of seasonal albums including
Nat Cole’s “The Magic of Christmas”; The Kingston Trio’s “The Last Month
Of The Year”; “Joy To The World” by the Roger Wagner Chorale and “The
Music Of Christmas” by the Hollywood Bowl Symphony.
Marty Angus, spearheading the currently red hot sales team of W & G
Records, announced that W & G would represent the lush professional line of
the American Music Minus One Company. Angus, just back from a fact-finding
tour of New South Wales, states that initial dealer reaction to the line was
“encouraging.” The MMO series will be handled by the W & G-owned teams
in New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania, whilst W & G’s normal services
will handle the line in South Australia and Queensland. Initial U. S. negotia-
tions were handled by W & G’s Jimmie Parks.
In a statement to the press, Ron Gillespie of W & G Records announced the
pacting of W & G and Kem Records; following negotiations, W & G will repre-
sent Kem in Australia and New Zealand.
The Myer Music Bowl was the scene on Sunday, October 30, of “The Story
Of Jazz,” a two and a half hour jazz concert about the progression of jazz,
employing six Melbourne groups: Les Barnard’s Famous Jazz Band; The Mel-
bourne New Orleans Jazz Band; Paul Marks Folk Singing Group — a special
mainstream group — The Brian Brown Quintet and the new Bruce Clarke Big
Band.
This was the first time that jazz had been allowed into The Myer Music
Bowl and a crowd of 60,000 turned up to hear the story and the sounds. Myke
Dyer presented the program, tracing the various sounds from Scott Joplin to
Gil Evans. Clarke’s Big Band climaxed the afternoon with his 18-piece band of
Melbourne musicians playing compositions and arrangements of Bill Russo,
Jimmy Guiffre, Gil Evans, Randy Weston, Manny Albam and Clarke himself.
Dyer also compared the recent Melbourne series of Lee Gordon’s Australian
Jazz Festival and has a weekly jazz session “Sound Study” from Station 3XY,
this program will shortly be celebrating its sixth anniversary.
An interesting jazz release by EMI on its Columbia label is the locally pro-
duced “Jazz For Beach-Niks” Vol. 2, featuring The Australian All-Stars. This
release follows closely on the heels of volume one in the series, which is re-
ported to be a best-seller for EMI. Both disks are worthy of release to a world
market.
Johnny Preston doing well here with his new Mercury single of “Charming
Billy.” Preston caught big sales here previously with “Running Bear,” “Cradle
Of Love” and “Feel So Fine.”
The first release of EMI’s “Concert Classics” range — a fine series of 12"
albums retailing at 39/6 — consists of ten previously unissued disks. A move
such as this from the vast EMI group of labels could prove to be the driving
force in eventually bringing about a general decrease in regular album prices.
Many record company executives in this country firmly believe that retail
prices must all be cut — some advocate a drastic reduction — in order to help
the common cause of the record industry to further popularize records as an
entertainment medium. They point out that the current popularity of EP’s is a
perfect illustration of their beliefs. EP’s, which retail at an average of around
16/., are consistently in demand.
Latest singles from Festival’s Top Rank label includes Freddy Cannon’s
“Humdinger’’; “Hush Hush” by Jimmy Reed; “Come Back” by Jimmy Clanton
and “Tonight’s The Night” by The Shirelles. A Top Rank album getting a good
share of air-play is “A String Of Pearls” by The Knightsbridge Strings, this
LP could easily develop into a good sales item throughout Australia.
Johnny O Keefe’s latest single for the Lee Gordon label carries the wild
rocker “Ready For You” which was recorded in the United States and a fine
version of “Save The Last Dance For Me” which was recently cut in Sydney.
O’Keefe’s previous single, “Come On And Take My Hand” c/w “Don’t You
Know,” has just finished a successful run in the Top Ten across the nation.

At the end of 1960, Italian I.F.P.I. will vote for the posts of president and
secretary. Mr. Trinelli, who heads the Cetra Record House in Turin, is pres-
ently the president, while Mr. Frachetti is the secretary. Frachetti, author of
the column “Italian Record Production From 1957 To 1958” in The Cash Box
Anniversary Issue, assured me that he will be able to supply me with the
figures of 1959 in time to be published in the Christmas edition of The Cash
Box. He did tell me that record sales dropped in 1959.
On November 19, Curci Music Publishing House will offer a dinner party at
the Continental Hotel to celebrate its 100th anniversary. The only other music
publishing house in existence longer than Curci is Ricordi, and it is one hundred
and fifty years old.
The showing of “Can Can” in Milan goes on successfully, as well as the
soundtrack LP on VCM. They have sold 10,000 albums and it is fast climbing
towards the mark of VCM’s strongest selling LP in the sound track field. This
mark was reached with “High Society” from 1957 until now.
Mina goes on being the star on the Canzonissima TV Show. Her latest per-
formances on the show were “Tintarella Di Luna,” which topped the chart for
several weeks, and “Folle Banderuola,” included on the chart more than once.
A list of the songs the audience liked most was announced by the votes of the
televiewers. “Romantica” by Dallara is still at the top of the list.
Domenico Modugno’s new tune, “Si, Si, Si”, after being launched in the
States, has just reached Italy this month.
Juliette Greco in Milan for a six evening program of recitals in a theatre of
ours. She attended a cocktail party in her honor at Terrazza Martini, organ-
ized by Italian Philips. Her recitals in Milan proved to be a real success. Ter-
razza Martini is the place (50th floor of a skyscraper near our Cathedral)
where nearly all cocktail parties for music personalities are held, for instance,
Marino Marini, Katyna Ranieri, Peppino Di Capri and Juliette Greco among
the most recent ones. The parties are freely offered by Martini & Rossi, a house
producing Vermouth.
A new band has been launched called The Shadows from England. Their
record of “Apache” is selling very well here as well as England, according to
VCM.
Mr. Velona of the Ri Fi Record Company announced a cocktail party to be
held towards the end of November to introduce the recent record production
to the press. Over the last month, they waxed thirty new sides. Furthermore,
the cast is growing due to the signing of new talent.
The song, “Never On Sunday,” is a smash here. In five weeks it climbed up
the Italian chart and an extraordinary number of record versions are simulta-
neously available. There are twenty different record editions of this Greek tune
on our market, the best selling of which are listed on the chart.
1961 San Remo Festival will be born in a red hot atmosphere, just as the
others in the past. Nothing is clear and decided about it as yet, except that
this world famous festival successfully built in ten years must not die.
I had an interesting conversation with Mario Haddad, who represents the
following record lines in Lebanon: Festival, Bel Air, Atlantic, Music, Jolly,
Verve, Errato, Kapp, and Everest, and distributes United Artists’ movies
throughout the area. Lebanon has 1,750,000 inhabitants, of whom 750,000 live
in Beyrouth and the others in the country around the city. There are two dif-
ferent music markets — a Western music market and an Arabian one. Lebanon
enjoys a propsperous economic position. They have two radio stations of the
State, one private radio station which possibly will close soon, another radio
station opens next year, and one private TV station. Here are some figures
given me by Mr. Haddad to make the capacity of 45 RPM record absorption in
his territory clearer: “Mustafa” by Bob Azam sold 40,000 copies, “Histoire
D’Un Amour” by Dalida sold 23,000, “Shish Kebab” by Ralph Marterie on
Mercury sold 18,000, “Luna Caprese” on Festival sold 17,000, “Ciao Ciao Bam-
bina” by Domenico Modugno sold 12,000, “Diana” by Paul Anka sold 8,000,
“Volare” by Modugno sold 7,000, “Guarda Che Luna” by Fred Buscaglione on
Italian Cetra sold 4,000. As to LP’s “The Platters” sold 1,500 copies, as well as
Azam’s LP.

“MIDNIGHT IN HEAVEN” (2:15) [Starday BMI— Copas]
“SETTIN’ FLAT ON READY” (2:35) [Starday BMI— Copas, Marvin]
COWBOY COPAS (Starday 528)
With “Alabam” still riding high, Cope is back in top form for another
solid attack on the listings. Side that should do it first is the affectionate,
soft-spoken “Midnight In Heaven” affair, yet the rollicking “Settin’
Flat On Ready” date should not be underrated for it follows Cope’s
strummin’ work on “Alabam.”
“I’M A PRISONER OF LOVE” (2:51) [Acuff-Rose BMI— Butler]
“FOR THE FIRST TIME” (2:30) [Marty’s Music BMI— Spurlock]
CARL BUTLER (Columbia 41869)
Butler has a sure-fire money-maker in “I’m A Prisoner of Love,” a tra-
ditional weeper that’s brilliantly sung by the artist. His genuinely con-
vincing delivery leaves nothing to be desired. Watch it soar. Another
good ballad is “For The First Time” on the lower portion. Could well
be a sales-getter.
“JUDGE NOT” (2:10) “ARE YOU TEASING ME” (2:15)
[Acuff-Rose BMI — [Acuff-Rose BMI — Louvin Bros.]
Carter, Dinning]
MARGIE BOWES (Hickory 1135)
The thrush has a double opportunity to return as a chart topper with
either end of this Hickory outing. The slight edge is given to “Judge
Not,” a ballad which the Miss wrings out in true country style, but “Are
You Teasing Me,” a slightly faster paced weeper, also has earmarks of
a hit. Pick ’em at even odds.
IIIIIIIIIIII!lllllllilllllllll!IIIIIIIIIIIIIII
GRANDPA JONES (Monument 430)
(B-f) “I DON’T LOVE NOBODY”
(1:45) [G-J BMI — Arr. Jones]
The oldie is given a contagious re-
vamping by the lovable Grandpa and
with his “Swinging Grandchildren” he
gives it a rousing jubilation sendoff.
Has excellent spin value.
(B-f) “HIP CAT’S WEDDIN’ ”
(2:18) [Acuff-Rose BMI — Bry-
ant] This Boudeleaux Bryant ditty is
ideally suited for Jones’ comical
style. It’s a bouncy blueser; rates con-
sideration.
LONZO & OSCAR (Starday 523)
(B-f) “PUNKIN RAISER” [Star-
day BMI— Scarlett, Fikes]
The unmistakable harmony of the vet
team is a genuine treat as they sing
affectionately of their small town up-
bringing. They have a strong follow-
ing which should mean loot here.
(B) “TAKIN’ A CHANCE WITH
YOU” [Lonzo & Oscar BMI—
Morris, Hodges] Romance is the sub-
ject now and they do it up in a de-
lightfully swinging pop-like manner.

effectively by just one guitar. This
fact is the mood clincher and could
get it around.
(C-f) “WALK SLOWLY STRAN-
GER” (2:45) [Rodeo BMI—
LeBeau] Haunting warning of love is
read with feeling.
PAUL WILLIAMS (Decca 31186)
(B-f) “WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED
TO DO” (2:40) [Champion
BMI — Williams, Humphrey] Williams
makes his Decca debut and from his
performance here, looks like a future
contender. This end is a fairly fa-
miliar country ballad but the singer’s
resoundingly heartfelt delivery sets it
in a favorable light. Has potential.
(B) “DEEP RIVER” (2:35)
[Champion BMI — Williams,
Humphrey] More tears from Wil-
liams, though it’s a swinger here.
Solidly belted session with enough
playability. Tune is not the same as
the old spiritual.
SLIM WAKEFIELD (Walco 742)
(B-f) “IT’S YOUR LIFE (YOU’RE
RUINING)” (2:08) [Clay-
Lick BMI — Wakefield] A good piece
of original material coupled with a
fine chanting job puts this release into
the “sleeper” category. Should get
play.
(B-f) “NEVER (IS A LONG, LONG
TIME)” (2:47) [Clay-Lick
BMI — Wakefield] Again Wakefield
displays a professional touch in both
the writing and chanting departments.
Two laudable sides.
RAY PHILLIPS (Vellez 1507)
(C+) “OUR TOMORROW ENDED
TODAY” (2:10) [Velez BMI
— Orr] An ordinary country ballad is
sung with feeling but without style by
Phillips.
(C) “I’D BE A FOOL TO KEEP
ON LOVING YOU” (2:50)
[Vellez BMI — Manship] A brisk turn
in the western swing manner.

During the recent convention, writes Slick Norris, Joe Allison, Liberty’s
country A&R topper, squeezed in enough time to cut four sessions at Brad-
ley’s studios. Dates were with Ray Sanders, Warren Smith, Billy Strange and
Doyle O’Dell. Of course it’s too soon to say anything about the Smith or San-
ders sides, since both are still strong in chartsville, but Slick cautions to be on
the lookout for some potent material from Liberty newcomers Strange and
O’Dell. Knowing what Allison can do in a recording studio (and what Slick
can do on the promo end) we’re well aware of anything new from the Liberty
stable — so let’s have ’em Slick! . . . Lawton Williams pens from his mike at

JAMBOREE SWEETHEARTS
(Sue — Nancy — Linda)
CONNIE "TEX" HAT
KCUL-Houston that his next disk outing is tabbed for the Mercury banner.
Lawton previewed two sides for Mercury’s Shelby Singleton and the genial
southern rep for the label grabbed them up quick. Lawton also tells us that
the “Big D Jamboree” is still going great guns. He works the show each Satur-
day night, emceeing a half-hour portion of the hour show over KRLD-Dallas,
a big 50,000 watter. Says they have the smiling Irishman, James O’Gwynn,
lined up for the Nov. 19 edition. . . . With his suitcase bulging with contract
blanks, Top Talent general manager Jim McConnell heads this week for the
annual Outdoor Convention (didn’t we just recuperate from one convention?)
in Chicago, merchandising a big new stock of “Starpower Shows” for the ’61
fair season. Next month, incidentally, begins Jim’s 36th year in the business
end of this thing called show biz. ... Si Siman stretched his recent Nashville
visit a week beyond the end of the Festival, staying in tunetown to visit with
artists in behalf of Springfield’s Earl Barton Music pubbery. . . . Also from
Don Richardson in Springfield is the interesting news that Charlie Brown,
whose well known Nashville firm, Brown Radio Productions, introduced Eddy
Arnold on his own transcribed radio series about 13 years ago, was defeated
in the Ozarks while attempting to return to the U.S. Congress for a third term.
Both Brown and his opponent were heavy users of country music in their cam-
paigns.
We reprint here, without unnecessary comment, Hank Snow’s open letter to
disk jockies which he so kindly requested. “Dear Disk Jockies: Due to the
fact that I was confined to bed with the flu and missed the entire disk jockey
convention, the only one I have missed in nine years, I wanted you to know
that my most sincerest thoughts and good wishes were with you every minute
of the convention. May I wish for your continued success and my heartfelt
thanks for what you have done throughout the year of 1960 for me and for
every artist in the country field, in helping to keep country and folk music
where it is in the eyes of our international public.” . . . The CMA’s very own
Mrs. Jo Walker passes on to us a letter which Connie B. Gay received, recently,
and we feel it is of vital importance to the field. The letter, from Connie “Tex”
Hat in Austria, tells about Connie’s introduction of the first and only nation-
wide (Austria) country music program in Sept. 1958. Response was so great
that four radio stations in Germany have asked him to make his program
available to them through the International Program Exchange. Proof is also
offered by the fact that Connie was made an honorary citizen of Texas by
Gov. Price Daniel. Connie’s problem is that he has not been recognized by
American record companies and finds it extremely difficult to get hold of coun-
try records. We think that with just a little effort on our parts, Connie’s prob-
lem can easily be solved, and it would do so much to further the international
reputation of country music. So let’s get with it! . . . Norman Kelly writes
from Franklin, Pa. that the Sandy Lake Jamboree has just entered what looks
like a very successful Winter season. He’s added the Jamboree Sweethearts —
Sue, Nancy and Linda Wagner — to the weekly program, and reports that they’ve
been well received by the audiences. The girls, all sisters of Jamboree headliner
Junie Lou, will appear with the Pine Hedge Ranch Hands at all their park and
fair dates as well as any scheduled radio programs.
The Jim Denny Artist Bureau announced that it has inked Lonzo & Oscar to
a management and booking pact. The team has just completed its first book-
ings through the Denny office with p.a.’s in Lincoln, Omaha, St. Joe and Kan-
sas City, Mo. . . . Bill Denny also newsnotes that Minnie Pearl will put in an
appearance soon at the Waldorf Astoria in Nooo York. Unbelievable? Well
Denny has her set for a banquet at the plush hotel on Nov. 23. . . . Wanda
Jackson’s recent sparkling two-week performance at Las Vegas’ Golden Nug-
get has netted her an exclusive long-term contract extending through 1961.
Wanda and her newly-formed group, the Party Timers, are skedded for a re-
turn to the Nugget for six weeks kicking off Dec. 15. In addition she has 20
more weeks to do there scattered throughout next year. The Nugget’s Bill
Greene, in commenting about Wanda’s great new act, also indicated that the
club’s plans for ’61 include the biggest array of top country personalities ever
presented in Las Vegas “or anyplace in the world.” He said it, not us. Anyway,
some of the names already signed include Hank Thompson, Bob Willis, Pee
Wee King, the Judy Lynn Show and the Miller Bros. . . . Koo-Koo the Kountry
Kangaroo, who reportedly has over 40,000 world-wide fan club members, has
been named ship’s mascot of the S.S. Canberra, a missile carrier out of Nor-
folk. . . . Jimmy Simpson types that he, the wife and the baby will make the
long haul from Anchorage to Nashville to spend Christmas at home. Jimmy

Interest In
Vending Grows
At All
Levels
We have observed the degree to which coin ma-
chine firms have continued to enter the vending
field and the move appears to have many interest-
ing facets.
First off, the move in itself contradicts the theo-
ries of many, who as recently as ten years ago,
argued that vending requires the talents of an al-
together different breed of businessman, apart
from the music-games type, if there is such a
breed. Second, the wholesaler of coin machine
equipment, with a vending line also for sale, is no
longer a novelty— every Seeburg distributor in the
country for instance, sells vending machines. And
lo and behold, at least half of the factory giants are
turning out vending machines in conjunction with
coin-operated phonographs and amusement games.
Quite a transition !
The reason for this change is obvious— greater
income. This applies to the operator who is capable
of handling vending equipment without too great
an increase in overhead. It also applies to the larger
operator or distributor who is equipped with the
financial backing for a larger scale entry. In many
instances, wholesalers have added complete vend-
ing divisions separate from their music-games busi-
ness. Manufacturers of coin equipment are merg-
ing, buying, or are being absorbed by vending
firms. The interest in this field is growing, with
more and more coinmen carrying this interest to
action. Attendance at the recent NAMA seems to
have confirmed this trend. The trend will continue
with more coin machine wholesalers appearing on
the scene with vending equipment for sale. Ex-
posure and further stimulation must result in the
presence of a greater number of music-games peo-
ple in what once was primarily a “vending indus-
try” choice.
Vending has been typed as a business that is still
in its infancy. Granted, it is still a child. But kids
grow fast in this day and age. Vending has come to
be an important phase of the coin machine business
both in its present state and in terms of potential.
It is time to look your situation over and decide if
vending should be part of your future.

CHICAGO — Alvin Gottlieb, D. Gott-
lieb & Company, this city, announced
the release last week of Gottlieb’s new
“Flipper” pinball amusement game,
amid considerable ado and fanfare
surrounding Gottlieb’s new concept in
cabinetry plus a host of new features.
The new cabinet brings to the trade
the most radical “New Look” styling
changes from the Gottlieb drawing
boards in more than 20 years.
“We bring to the nation’s operators
‘tomorrow’s design today’,” Gottlieb
declared. “And in this ‘new look’ con-
cept we are making it increasingly
easier for the amusement game opera-
tor to bring dime play into all loca-
tions.”
The Gottlieb firm introduced the
new “Flipper” pinball amusement
game after considerable testing in the
field.
He added: “This new cabinetry puts
forth a great stride forward for us in
design, and carries futuristic styling
up face-to-face with the player. The
high, wide and handsome tapered
light-box immediately attracts atten-
tion in any location. This will cer-
tainly increase incentive for dime
play in locations everywhere.
“Another important attraction is
the ageless beauty and durability ex-
pressed in the stainless steel moldings
throughout the entire playfield area,
which provides an appealing, new and
scrubbed-clean appearance perma-
nently. The game is mounted on
sturdy steel, and heavily plated legs.
There is a hard chrome finish corner
casting on the plungers in front of the
cabinet giving players a sure, clean
grip.”
“Flipper” offers several new plus
features in conjunction with the “new
look” cabinet. High on this list is the
new “Hard-Cote” playboard finish
which assures permanence on the play-
field.
In spelling out the playing features
Gottlieb stressed the importance in the
Add-A-Ball” extended play innovation,
which he stated is the first really new
playing feature since D. Gottlieb &
Co’s, introduction of the super-pow-
ered flipper. This skillful player func-
tion adds an unlimited number of balls
to each game depending upon the skill
of the player.
As if this lineup of pinball innova-
tions is not enough, Gottlieb contin-
ued on to reveal another first in play
appeal.
records. The intermix changer is op-
tional equipment.
The Reverba-Sound feature
which is also on the firm’s standard
size phonographs is another optional
feature of the small size unit.
The machine is designed for mount-
ing on a wall in locations where space
is limited.
ALVIN GOTTLIEB
“We also offer a new high score
panel on the lightbox which will cer-
tainly induce action and promote com-
petitive play. This panel allows the
player to insert his high score and his
name with a greased pencil. This is
truly personalized play! The score
and name can very easily be changed
each time a new high score is
achieved,” Gottleib said.
In actual play “Flipper” presents a
playing card sequence which makes
the additional balls available to play-
ers. High score also makes additional
balls available., Top rollovers deter-
mine the card selected. In this case
making the card in action on the play-
field awards the player an additional
ball.
Two top “Joker” rollovers light al-
ternately on the playfield. Additional
balls are available to the payer if no
card is selected. In the event that a
card has been selected, making the
lighted “Joker” turns off the lighted
card.
There are two super-powered skill
flippers and a host of other popular
Gottlieb features. The over-all play
and appearance in “Flipper” offers a
great deal of excitement and play in-
centive, according to Gottlieb. He also
pointed up the fact that preintroduc-
tory tests in several random locations
created immediate acceptance, and re-
sulted in quantity sales among Gott-
lieb distributorships.

Irv Ovitz Rejoins Atlas Sales Staff
CHICAGO — Edward A. Ginsburg,
president of Atlas Music Company,
this city, announced the appointment
this past week of veteran coinman
Irving Ovitz to the sales staff of the
local Seeburg distributing firm.
Ovitz returns to Atlas Music Com-
pany after a lapse of many years. He
first entered the coin machine indus-
try more than 25 years ago, shortly
after Eddie and the late Morrie Gins-
burg founded the company.
After several years, during Atlas
Music’s formative years, Ovitz left for
a World War II tour of duty with the
United States Army. After his sepa-
ration from war time duty he returned
to this city and resumed his coin ma-
chine activities in his own distributor-
ship. When this activity ultimately
terminated he then spent several years
with the Coven Music Company, until
recently.
“We’re certainly delighted to have
Irv back in the Atlas fold after a
lapse of so many years. He always
was an asset here, and got along very
well with operators,” said Ginsburg.
Ovtiz amply declared his happiness
at being re-associated with Atlas Mu-
sic. He said: “I’m extremely happy to
return to Atlas Music and renew my
friendly relations with operators all
over the country.
“As previously,” he added, “my ob-
jective will be to service our operator
customers as conscientiously and ex-
peditiously as I possibly can. The
needs of the operators are of prime
consideration here at Atlas Music.”
Black Sales Increases Volume With
Special Type Multiple Installations
Typical of the new type outlets for coin-operated equipment in New York City
is Art Ford’s ‘Bowl-A-Gallery’ in Greenwich Village. The location features food,
amusement machines, and oil paintings displayed throughout the plushly deco-
rated interior. Ford, a disk jockey, promotes the location via show business con-
tacts and attendance warrants five United ‘Tip-Top’ bowlers and one phonograph
NEW YORK— When Irv Holzman,
Black Sales Company, installed five
coin-operated amusement machines in
Johnny Ray’s “Bowl-A-Bite” on New
York’s eastside he had no idea that
this was the start of a new type mar-
ket for his United amusement ma-
chines.
Following up the first of the “Bowl-
A-Bite” installations, Holzman in-
stalled five more machines in a sec-
ond Ray location in Great Neck, and
the decor was just as plush as the
first. On the heels of Ray’s success
came a new type location in Green-
wich Village, owned and operated by
NBC’s Art Ford, nationally known
disk jockey, and featuring oil paint-
ings for the egghead patrons. “Bowl-
A-Gallery” offers food and games —
namely, United bowlers.
Getting away from the unique type
location and returning to the solid ar-
cade business, Holzman shipped five
“Bowl-A-Rama” machines to Max
Scheaffer, owner of New York’s larg-
est arcade. The coin-operated game is
finding its way into the most unusual
locations in New York and is report-
edly meeting with success.
The change in setting for the coin-
operated amusement game could very
well be the answer to an entirely new
market for coin machines. Evidently a
large percentage of the population
have never had the opportunity to play
the games. New type locations may
open the doors to this new patron.
Interior of Great Neck’s “Bowl-A-
Bite” offers fine foods and several
bowlers and shuffles.
Johnny Ray, owner of Great Neck lo-
cation, poses for a photo with Irv
Holzman’s daughter, Arlene.
Max Schaeffer, owner of one of New York City’s largest arcades, located just
north of Times Square, recently bought five United “Bowl-A-Rama” ’s from
Holzman’s firm and attracts the heavy tourist trade from the Great White Way

‘illy Releases “Touchdown” Bingo
CHICAGO — Football is the theme of
a new bingo-style pinball-game,
■'‘Touchdown,” announced this week
by Bill O’Donnell, general sales mana-
ger of Bally Manufacturing Company,
this city.
“But,” O’Donnell emphasized, “the
nationwide popularity of football is
not the main reason ‘Touchdown’ is
destined to be the biggest hit ever
built in the bingo class. The strong
player-appeal and exceptional earning-
power of ‘Touchdown’ is based on the
sensational new Magic Numbers fea-
ture.
“We’ve had Magic Squares, Magic
Curtains and Magic Screens, but the
new Magic Numbers tops them all.
The card on the “Touchdown” back-
glass is divided into 4 areas with 6
numbers in each area. Each area is
identified by a letter — A, B, C or D — -
which light when coins are deposited.
When any area is lit, each of the 6
numbers in the area may be shifted
to any of the 6 positions in the area.
“Magic Numbers are, of course,
similar to the famous Magic Squares
of ‘Broadway,’ ‘Big Time,’ and other
great Bally games. But, because each
area contains 6 Magic Numbers, in-
stead of only 4, ‘Touchdown’ gives
player up to 50 per cent more number-
juggling scoring-flexibility. In fact,
when all letters — A, B, C or D- — -are
lit, every number on the card, ex-
cepting the center number — 16 — may
be shuffled around. And the stationary
16 may be ‘spotted’ by coin-play.

“Another attractive new feature is
the 4-Stars feature, which is a mod-
ernized version of the time-tested
Corners feature. Triple-deck scoring
— -with red, yellow and green lines
scoring separately — Extra Time, by
coin-play or rollover, and Extra Balls
are other profit-proved Bally features
built into ‘Touchdown!’ Last but not
least, Pic-k-a-Play push-buttons, in-
troduced with such great success in
‘Roller Derby,’ are continued in
‘Touchdown.’
“Bally engineers have really packed
a big load of moneymaking play-ap-
peal into ‘Touchdown’,” which is why
distributors and operators who pre-
viewed the game are convinced that
‘Touchdown’ will top all previous
Bally bingo-style games in play-
appeal and long-life earning-power.”

Another showing, another crowd, and last week the crowd was at Atlantic
New York Corp., to witness the unveiling of the 1961 Seeburg phongraph line
featuring Artist of The Week phonos in two models — 100 and 160 selections.
The 160 job features the name of the location on the top glass and the first
few machines out on location have reportedly set the neighborhood on fire
with enthusiasm. “Joe’s Bar and Grill” is now presenting such names as Si-
natra, Twitty, Como, et al, and he no doubt is very proud of this line-up in
his tavern. Sounds as if this personalized feature on the Seeburg phono has
many ramifications and advantages to it both from the standpoint of the
operator and the location owner. In any event, it is obvious that the new
feature is stirring up excitement and sales.
A baby boy for Mr. and Mrs. Ed Goldberg, White Plains op. The Goldbergs
balanced the family which now stands at the 2 and 2 level — two boys, two
girls. Ed is a member of the Westchester Ops Board of Directors. . . . Seymour
Poliak was kind enuf to forward the birthday news in time for this issue. . . .
Al Rodstein, Banner, Philly, continues his excitement over the United “Bowl-A-
Rama” and is currently making use of his facilities at the newly formed finance
firm which is specializing in supporting op plans for expansion and investment
in current coin machine routes. . . . Bill Slawe and the boys at Model Vending
in Philly report solid Wurlitzer phono sales and look forward to an even better
sales record once the new machine is announced. . . . Jimmy Sisti, Libra Dis-
tribs, Waterbury, is another Wurlitzer wholesaler pleased with the current
sales situation. ... Si Redd, Redd Distributing, Boston, showing the new See-
burg line in addition to a complete line of vending equipment and supplies. Si
is very happy over the current interest in vending from music ops and is re-
portedly enjoying wide success in the New England area. Redd’s new plant has
enuf room for all types of equipment. . . . Irv Morris, Newark wholesaler, ex-
cited over Gottlieb’s “Flipper” pingame introduced last week featuring a
completely new cabinet design. . . . Carl Pavesi, Mike and Lou Tartaglia,
among the visiting ops to Tenth Ave. to view the new Seeburg phono. . . .
Mike Munves ready for the Parks Show in Chicago with Joe just back from
Puerto Rico with an armful of orders. Joe will shoot out to the windy city to
man the exhibit booth which most certainly will feature the biggest seller of
the month — “Champ Grip Tester.” Mike’s son, Alvin, back on the job with an
eye on the calendar. He reports back to his Army camp in a few days to await
release on a discharge in another two weeks.

nicely and should be finished in a few weeks. Marvin Goldstein has sold out
those speakers we mentioned a few weeks ago (designed in the form of a
painting), and reordered immediately. Irv Kempner nowhere to be seen last
week. Evidently he’s working harder than ever. Dosn’t even take time out to
come into the office to add up his sales! “Shugy” was in the office early in the

is a model music listening spot. Features photos of various artists programmed
on the Seeburg phono via the 33-1/3 rpm route, with a cozy booth for four
tucked in the corner. Booth features a wallbox with stereophones attached for
personal listening. Just another idea for ops to mull over while they concern
themselves with “how to” in the additional income dept. As visiting ops
strolled into the Seeburg showrooms, Murray Kaye quickly formed their names
from the plastic alphabet available for such purposes and displayed the op’s
name on the machine in bright red letters. Howard Herman, Arthur Herman,
Bell Music, Lou and Mike Tartaglia, were just a few of the ops given to the
personalized treatment. Meyer Parkoff served a nice spread of refreshments
and drinks for coinmen during the 3-day Mon.-Wed. affair. Nice time had by

week and if you don’t receive a copy of the letter with photos showing the
Canteen in action call Nash Gordon at MONY offices. . . . Nice note of thanx

The Cash Box — November 26, 1960
CHICAGO CHATTER
There seems to be a notable upsurge in interest among coinmen for the
upcoming 42nd annual Parks Show, which will swing open Sunday, November
27, and run through Wednesday, November 30, at the Sherman Hotel. NAAPPB
prexy Bob Plarr, executive secretary John Bowman, et al assure us that they
are going all out to make this exposition and conclave the biggest ever in the
organization’s 42 year history. Come one! Come all!
The recent release to the trade of a rash of new amusement and music
equipment coupled with a general increase in collections on the operator level
are uniting to give the industry a welcome shot in the arm at this time. When
the coins really start to jingle, happy smiles are generally found on more
faces in coinbiz. . . . We want to take this opportunity to welcome old coinbiz
friend Irv Ovitz back into the fold. Irv is now back at his old stand at Atlas
Music Co., where he started in the coin machine business more than 25 years
ago. Irv hardly broke in his new desk at Atlas when he started to make plans
to meet all his old operator friends at the Atlas showing of the new Seeburg
phono last Saturday and Sunday. It was just like old times again, eh, Irv?. . . .
Seeburg veepee Jack Gordon hied himself to Zurich, Switzerland where he
joined with Seeburg’s vice-prez in charge of Seeburg International, George
Gilbert, to emcee a two day showing of Seeburg’s 1961 line of vending ma-

chines, phonos and background music equipment at the Spirgarten Hotel. Stu
Auer, sales manager of the background music division joined Jack on the jet
flight to the Alpine paradise. Another overseas showing was held in the show-
rooms of Jose Negroni, Inc. in San Juan, Puerto Rico, hosted by W. S. Yen Der
Hoef, assisted by Ed Blanckenbeckler on the same dates.
We got the “call” from Bob Plarr, John Bowman and Carl Hughes to give
a short talk during the Shop Talk Forum at the NAAPPB conclave. Thanks,
fellows, we’re more than happy to help out. . . . Fine amusement games keep
pouring out of the plant at Bally Manufacturing during this season at a week
by week rate. Last week Bill O’Donnell, Bally’s genial sales manager, an-
nounced the release of the new “Touchdown” pingame. Bill and vice prexy
Herb Jones cite the new Bally designed “Magic Numbers” feature over and
above the timely popularity of football as the prime selling feature. . . .
Speaking of football reminds us of the purple rage noticeable on Bear fan
Joe Robbins’ face after Baltimore Colts meanie Lennie Moore snagged the
almost impossible sudden death pass from equally mean flinger Johnny Unitas
to whip the Chicago Bears in the last few seconds of the game last Sunday.
Bear fans have coined a phrase hereabouts — “Unitas we stand (Unitas we
fall!).”
Art Weinand, sales director for Chicago Dynamic Industries, is lining up
Chicago Coin’s array of amusement games for showing at the upcoming Parks
Show. Mort Secore is eagerly looking forward to the show, where he feels
ChiCoin games will, as usual, create a lot of attention. . . . Sam Lewis returned
to his heavy laden desk early last week after a short business sojourn follow-
ing the NAMA convention in Miami Beach. The first item on Sam’s agenda was
to release Williams Electronic’s new “Black Jack” pinball amusement game,
featuring an exciting playing card motif. Williams prexy Sam Stern is more
than delighted with immediate response received on this game. “Black Jack”
cabinetry carries a continuation of the “Styling of the 60’s” appearance which
has created so much interest all over the country.
Phil Moss, head of Phil Moss Distribs, Seeburg’s distributor in Des Moines
and environs, is so taken with the new Seeburg line that he is conducting his
showings there throughout the entire week of November 12 thru 18. Phil will
hold a road showing at the Paxton Hotel in Omaha, Nebraska Tuesday, No-
vember 22. . . . Empire Coin’s Joe Robbins tells us Jack Burns and his lovely
missus departed for their vacation to the sunny southland last week. . . .
We never saw so much excitement as we encountered last week at D. Gott-
lieb & Co. when we dropped in to get all the facts about Gottlieb’s new
“Flipper” pingame. Alvin Gottlieb asserted that the new cabinet, which he calls
“tomorrow’s design today,” is already creating a lot of actvity in Gottlieb
distrib outlets. A plus feature is a “hard cote” finish on the playfield which,
Alvin sez, is practically impervious to wear. In scoring and play features he
cites the new “Add-A-Ball” feature as a “great advancement.” (It is explained
more in detail in a story elsewhere in this issue.)
Keeney’s vice prexy Paul Huebsch info’s that Keeney’s entire line of up-
rights is enjoying a banner season. He reminds us that the “Panascope
Viewer,” which was first introduced by Keeney last February is the original
version of this very popular new type of viewing equipment widely used on
upright amusement games these days. ... We find it increasingly more diffi-
cult to see Clarence Schuyler at Games, Inc. these days. Chief reason, of course,
is that Clarence is too busy producing and shipping Games’ new “Trail Blazer”
electronic upright game. It is a very popular piece all over the country. . . .

busy men-in-motion, who haven’t stood still for lo these many months, are
finally due back in the offices at Rock-Ola Friday, Nov. 18. Recently they
escorted a group of their distribs and their families to a brief vacation in ex-
otic Acapulco, Mexico. This was a reward for the splendid job Rock-Ola’s
distribs accomplished in selling the new line of phonos. Les Rieck, Art Janou-
sek and Kurt Kluever kept tabs on the sales dept, during the absence of this
itinerant trio.
Joel Stern and Len Micon are simply overjoyed over their results thus far
with Rock-Ola’s “Regis” phono. Business is just beginning to pick up at World
Wide Distribs, and Joel hopes to finish off this year of 1960 with a big smile
on his face. ... Ed Rata jack wouldn’t mind it so much if he were twins. After
all, he is doing two big jobs (AMI and MOA), and there is plenty to do in
both camps. . . . First Coin’s Joe Kline and Sam Kolber advise that the heav-
iest activity these days at First Coin is in foreign business. The only problem
is latching on to good used amusement and music equipment to ship overseas.
. . . Wico’s Ed Ruber reports that he noticed a healthier, happier business ouU
look and general attitude during his recent nationwide business jaunt. He
feels we are entering a strong business period now.
W. R. (Bill) Weikel, director of sales for Fischer Sales & Mfg. Co., departed
last week to help Si Redd celebrate the Grand Opening of his new distrib out-
let in East Boston, Mass. Bill tells us prexy Ekald Fischer is feeling more like
his old self again. . . . United Mfg’s. Bill DeSelm informs us that the “Sure-
Fire” shuffle alley and “Tip Top” bowler are very popular not only in this
country but overseas as well. Heaviest foreign activity is now in France^
where restrictions were recently lifted for amusement equipment, according
to Bill. . . . While visiting Atlas Music during the showing last Saturday' we
observed the expertly arranged bulletin board at the entrance to the parts dept,
of miniature full color albums covers for 33-1/3 stereo album singles available
for operators. Harold Schwartz was particularly pleased with this new Atlas
feature for the convenience of operators. Prexy Eddie Ginsburg, Nate Fein-
stein, Bill Phillips, Gene Waldman and Irv Ovitz played hosts to a huge num-
ber of ops who dropped in last Saturday and Sunday to see the new Seeburg
line of phonos.
Doug Opitz, head of Wisconsin Novelty in Milwaukee, recently acquired
the route operation of Kendou, Inc. Doug also added the Kendou staff to his
organization. Employees involved in this change are Glenn Grubb, Travis
Welch, Paul Nadolny, Howard Klabunde and Pat Savasta. , . , Ted Rubey and
Estell Bye, Marvel Mfg. Co., are looking forward to seeing many of their old
time coinbiz chums who are due in within the next few days for the NAAPPB
conclave. . . . Don’t forget to pop over to the Sherman Hotel to view all the

"Black Jack" Pin
Principle Based On
"21 " Card Game
CHICAGO — Sam Lewis, vice-presi-
dent in charge of sales for Williams
Electronic Manufacturing Corpora-
tion in this city, announced last week
the release of Williams’ new “Black
Jack” single-player pinball amuse-
ment game.
This game, which features an excit-
ing playing card motif, carries a con-
tinuation of the firm’s “Styling of the
60’s” cabinetry — with an illustrated
playfield and light box.
An intriguing feature in “Black
Jack,” according to Lewis, is based on
the fact that the “Dealer’s Score”
lights up when the game is over to
show the player how he fared in the
scoring against the game.
The player tries to build up a score
up to “21”. If the points made exceeds
“21” the player loses his game. On
the other hand, if the “Dealer’s Score”
on the backglass exceeds “21” the
player wins even if he is under the 21
point limit.
The “Black Jack” can be scored in
two ways. 1 — -by a one card score
build up; or, 2 — a skill shot in the top
holes or center kickouts.
In addition, “Black Jack” has a
matching number feature. Matching
the last number in the player’s score
with the lighted star on the black-
glass earns a replay.
Lewis advised that sample orders
have already been shipped to Wil-
liams’ distributors all over the United
States.
CALIFORNIA CUPPINGS
Much talk among the operators and distributors along “coin machine row”
this week concerned itself with the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Although
most plan to get together with relatives and friends, very few will travel fur-
ther than the L.A. city limits, traffic conditions being what they are in So.
Calif, on holidays. . . . At Leuenhagen’s “record bar,” singer Jerry Wallace
stopped in to spin his new Challenge Records outing. Mary Solle states that

the past week with the new Rock-Ola “Regis” continuing to move out at a fast
clip. Don Peters, from the shop, going pheasant hunting over the week-end to

ness is booming at Simon’s with several orders being shipped and more being

Stardust Hotel. Marshall Ames mentioned that business generally has been
moving at a good clip. . . . Ray Barry and Clayton Ballard, at the Wurlitzer
factory branch, in the Bakersfield area visiting operators during the past week.
Ray also reports that he is going to the regional Wurlitzer Distributors meet-
ing in Denver, which will also feature a showing of the new Wurlitzer phono-
graph. ... At California Music, Gabe Orland back from a 10 day business trip
that took him to Miami, New York and Chicago. Gabe attended a one-stop
meeting in Chicago, which he says was both “Interesting and educational.”
Gabe also mentioned that the weather in the East was “pretty bad.” Buddy
Robinson stated that Earl Grant, Decca artist, stopped in to say hello to the
gang at California. . . . At the Seeburg Distributing Co., Dean McMurdie, See-
burg District Mgr, informs that he will be visiting the various Seeburg dis-
tributors in the West during the showing of the “Irresistible” new Seeburg

mendous success with operators from all over So. Cal. stopping in, according
to Leo Simone. Leo said the comments from the operators have been most
enthusiastic with a surprising number of orders resulting. Bob Alexander, serv-
ice department mgr., still busy revamping the service department to handle
the increased business. . . . Hank Tronick, at C. A. Robinson & Co., reports
